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...

You can create an accout using trow away gafam account. Create network, then invite yourself over email. When invited you can actually make an account using only passkey. So create second account with passkey, you can leave the invited-to network and create new one completely separately from the first one. You can delete the first account and the gafam account. Job done 😀 (and yes I did exactly this) 😀

Ok, I guess it's not stupid if it works! And it seems easy. I'll try netbird first (recommended below), as their tutorial on how to setup jellyfin seems pretty comprehensive. If I fail this is number two on my list !
