This seems too straightforward, what's the catch?

Like how secure is it? Should I be turning it off (and disabling the port forwarding) when not using it?

Do I need any additional security? Mainly just want to use it for Jellyfin

Thanks

The tutorials section is very basic; I am not talking at that level. The patterns page is closer to the level of complexity that one needs help with, and it does cover several items, but you have 30-40 directives, many with several options, global options, and so on, so there're bound to be gaps.

In the other comment you said this is "90% of the feedback we get", and I can certainly understand the frustration -- people want documentation to magically solve their specific problem quickly, without having to read anything extraneous to it, which is clearly impossible.

As I said before, I'll keep it in mind next time I need to do something if I can't find it easily in the docs I'll at least highlight the effort it took, what I searched/read/found, etc., so you have something concrete.
