all the containers change IP addresses frequently. For home assistant a static IP address of the proxy manager is mandatory in order to reach it. For jellyfin it is useful to see which device accesses jellyfin. If the IP always changes, it doesn’t work properly.

How do I fix a container IP with podman compose (or docker)

    If you have everything in a compose stack, you can use the container name. Docker (and im sure podman) will do a dns resolution to the IP.
    So you can use http://jellyfin:8000 instead of http://172.28.50.11:8000 (or whatever internal docker IPs are).
    Not sure if it works outside of a compose stack. Might use different container name schemes (where inside a compose stack it would be “jellyfin”, outside it might be “media-jellyfin-1” depending on folder names and various configs)
