Hello everyone,

I want to create a Tailscale account to access my Jellyfin server from outside my home, but I’m already stuck at the first step: to create an account, you need either a GAFAM account or OIDC. I don’t have any personal accounts with GAFAM because of Lemmy’s bad influence. My emails are on Tuta. I don’t want to overcomplicate things as I'm a noob, but after spending 30 minutes researching OIDC, I still don’t know where to start… I don’t work in IT (at all).

Is it better to just give up and create a throwaway account with a GAFAM platform, or is there a simple way to do this with OIDC? If so, can anyone point me the way? Is there a free reliable OIDC provider? Will that make things complicated afterward with tail scale?

For more context: I turned my old gaming PC into a media center running Fedora and a Jellyfin server that I access locally. I was surprised by how relatively simple it all was, especially getting Jellyfin to work locally.

Obviously, I wanted to use Tailscale to connect to Jellyfin remotely, but I never had time to look into it. I was told this morning that I’m going to undergo major surgery with a significant recovery period ahead, so suddenly this has become urgent...

Cloudflare tunnels have a zero trust option to them. You can authenticate through a number of sources, including arbitrary OIDC.
