I'm new to Pangolin and have the initial setup done. How would I connect to access Jellyfin from the web?

If your Pangolin setup is already working, accessing Jellyfin from the web is basically about exposing it through Pangolin’s gateway.

High-level steps:

1. **Make sure Jellyfin is reachable locally**

* Example: `http://localhost:8096` (or your server IP)
* If this doesn’t work, fix that first.

2. **Create a service in Pangolin**

* In the Pangolin dashboard, add a new service
* Point it to your Jellyfin instance (e.g. `http://YOUR_LOCAL_IP:8096`)

3. **Assign a domain/subdomain**

* Example: `jellyfin.yourdomain.com`
* This should be configured in your DNS (usually a CNAME to your Pangolin gateway)

4. **Enable access through Pangolin**

* Attach the service to your site/app in Pangolin
* Configure authentication if needed (optional but recommended)

5. **Use the public URL**

* Open: `https://jellyfin.yourdomain.com`
* You should now see Jellyfin externally

Common pitfalls:

* Jellyfin not reachable from the Pangolin client machine
* Wrong port (default is 8096)
* DNS not pointing correctly
* Firewall blocking access

If you want, paste your Pangolin config or setup (gateway + client + DNS), and I can help you debug it step-by-step
