Jellyfin currently has no way to limit the maximum ABI version. This means that people can install incompatible versions of a plugin. Unfortunately, the error is only visible after restarting Jellyfin. The average user expects to be offered only working and compatible versions.
The easiest method of self-hosting is to use Caddy, which is how we currently deploy on DigitalOcean. See the docker-compose.yaml and Caddyfile for reference.
Almost all webhosters have Apache mod_rewrite enabled. PHP always has restrictions and is not needed anyway.
Caution
Some countries block Cloudflare
Instead of spending money for a webhoster you can connect a domain to cloudflare and use domain redirect rules.
