First things first, the setup is currently up and running. but i would like to modify it to use a reverse proxy through my personal domain.

Currently, i’m using an old pc with Truenas and a jail with jellyfin in it. i’m connecting to it with the free Fritz!Box VPN service.

but that’s stupid and slow. so i’ve bought a domain at godaddy.com. but i don’t understand the principle of whatever is managing the domain knowing the public IP-adress of my server. i’ve heard of Caddy, but it’s also running locally, so i don’t understand how i connect the pc to the domain.

if anyone could simplify this down for me, it’d be very helpful.

    i may have figured something out, godaddy doesn’t support ddns, but you can change the ip of an A record via the API. and i have found a program that runs under linux as a service that does exactly that. problem is, where in my nas do i run it? do i try to install it in truenas? or jellyfin? or do i create a new jail with the sole purpose of running said program?

      I suspect you can have GoDaddy use a CNAME record which points to a DDNS entry (which has an A record). I have done that with different services before.
