    Linux How to harden a Jellyfin Server

    I have installed Jellyfin on a spare Ubuntu 22.04 machine. Thinking of sharing access with a couple of relatives living abroad. What are the best practices to keep my devices and home network safe? It will not be running 24x7, sharing access only when required / requested. Thanks
