Help with Jellyfin server (lemmy.ml)

So I was able to install everything correctly, but I don't know what I'm supposed to do in order for people that don't have my same IP to see my files. I'd like to share my Jellyfin server with some friends so they can see movies there. I've already open the ports, but they can't still access them, I'm using elementaryOS Hera which is built on Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS.

I have a few questions, being familiar with self hosting but not with jellyfin specifically

what ports does jellyfin expose? what IP does it have? what ports did you forward? how did you forward them? what IP did you forward them to? how are you telling your friends to connect?

I am not totally sure, but according to what someone else told me in my crosspost, I think it uses ports 80 and 443 when being used in combination with Caddy and DuckDNS. It uses 192.168.0.103:8096 if I access it locally. And I am not telling my friends to connect because I know they cant yet.

If you could please check out the other post on Jellyfin community since we made some progress but there were some errors. Thanks!
