I've set up Jellyfin with Docker on my Arch Linux server, and it's accessible over the internet through Nginx on a subdomain. However, I want to connect to Jellyfin from my local network (LAN) at the same time. I usually connect with the URL, but I'd prefer to access it directly over LAN too. Here's a snippet of my Docker Compose file for reference. What can I do to enable access over LAN?

Since you’ve already exposed the HTTP port, you should be able to access Jellyfin directly using its local IP address and port 8096, like `http://IP-ADDRESS-HERE:8096`. This is usually the simplest fix for devices that are stationary, such as TVs or desktops. However, mobile devices might have issues switching if they move off your local network.
Yeah, but I can’t connect to it via just the local IP and port; it just times out!
