I'm trying to learn about selfhosting and whatnot, but it's....a lot. Is there anything I need to do specifically besides configuring it correctly in order to protect it and myself. I hear people talking about putting stuff in dockers, putting things behind a reverse proxy, a VPN, etc.

I do currently have it running behind ProtonVPN but that's it. Do I need to be doing more?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Can you restrict Jellyfin itself to local network?

It is by default, you need to open ports on your router in order for it to receive traffic from outside your home network. And then configure those ports to forward to your jellyfin server.
