I already host multiple services via caddy as my reverse proxy. Jellyfin, I am worried about authentication. How do you secure it?

if the cameras don’t load, open Tailscale and make sure it’s connected

I've been using Tailscale for a few months now and this is my only complaint. On Android and macOS, the Tailscale client gets randomly killed. So it's an extra thing you have to manage.

It's almost annoying enough to make me want to host my services on the actual internet....... almost... but not yet.

I use plain wireguard on me phone, always on essentially with no issues. I wonder why tailscale app can't stay open.

I suspect that it goes down and stays down whenever there is an app update, but I haven't confirmed it yet.

Does the plain wireguard app stay up during updates?

Android wireguard all hasn't been updated in 18mo. Its extremely simple with a small code base. There basically isn't anything to update. It uses wireguard kernel module which is itself is only like 700 lines of code. It so simple that it basically became stable very quickly and there is nothing left of update right now.
