It’s easy af, just look up Jellyfin server guide. Basically it’s just forwarding a few ports and setting up usernames/passwords for them and you’re good to go
A slightly more complicated setup would be to host Jellyfin on one’s server at home and run a VPN client to a VPS which would have the necessary ports forwarded and routing configured. This way the people who know the right credentials can log in (assuming SSO) and the hoster doesn’t have to open their own port
