Hmm, my understanding was that FQDN means that anyone will resolve the domain to e.g. the same IP address? Which is the case here (unless DNS rebinding or similar is employed) — but it doesn’t resolve to the same physical host in this case since it’s a private IP. Wikipedia:
In my example, I can run
nslookup jellyfin.myexample.com 8.8.8.8
and it resolves to what I expect (a local IP address).But IANA network professional by any means, so maybe I’m misusing the term?

It just means it’s the full format, similar to absolute vs relative paths on a filesystem.
jellyfin.myexample.com
is fully qualified (technically there should be a trailing dot but that’s rarely enforced these days) - doesn’t matter what it resolves to.jellyfin
is not fully qualified - nor isjellyfin.myexample
. This matters when you start talking about records in different zones - for example you could have an A record forjellyfin
inmydomain.com

Ok so it is fully qualified then? I’m just confused because it sounded like you were saying I wasn’t using the term correctly in your other comment.
