Hi, 

 

I am a low-skill student with Unraid and all things server.  I have been using Unraid for about 3 years, mostly as a media server and for home labs. I know bugger all about docker except the absolute basics.

 

The issue:

I have been attempting to run a reverse proxy for my Jellyfin following the guides from Ibracorp and Spaceinvaderone. My Cloudflare and domain are communicating as expected, however, I cannot get to my Jellyfin instance through my domain.

I have my docker containers set on a custom Docker network as prescribed in the documentation. I can ping from each of the containers to 1.1.1.1 or cnn.com. When I try to open my page from nginx I get a 522 error.

 

It seems like there is a communication error between the nginx container and the Jellyfin container, but I don't know how to test for these things.

 

This is my first post as I have usually been able to find information on here, the internet, or youtube university to fix my issues but after 3 days of trying, removing containers, reinstalling, and trying different RPMs (SWAG and Nginx), checking config over and over again, I am totally lost.

 

I would greatly appreciate any help people are willing to offer or point me in the right direction for my issues.

 

Thanks.

Are you using SWAG or NPM?  Did you forward port 80 and 443 external port to the proper internal port that you setup on your docker template.  NginxProxyManager is much easier to configure if that matters.

Hi,

Thanks for the fast reply.

 

I am using Nginx as I couldn't wrap my head around swag and have had it working a couple of years ago with nginx. 

 

I have my port forwarding info below: router is a ZTE ZXHN H1600

Oh and here are the nginx ports:

Forward should work but no need to forward 2 ports for each.  It should be 443-443 Wan and 18443-18443 Lan and 80-80 Wan and 1880-1880 Lan.  Can you ping the your URL for jellyfin that you have setup from cloudflare?

I might be able to, but I don't know how.. lol.. this is the noob bit :).

 

I have my clouflare account open, and the status is 'proxied' for the cname record of the website. 

 

 Where would I find the console or place to do that in my cloudflare page?

 

This is the message  I get when I attempt to login through my site, which make me think it is working?

OMG.. I hadn't updated the A Record ip.. 

 

Ok So I can ping your URL.  I would remove that picture so you don't have your URL for everyone to see.  In Nginx proxy manager you should have scheme set to HTTP not HTTPS.  Also is NPM returning a proper SSL certificate.

 

Sorry about that. that solved one problem.

I now can connect to the jellyfin, but a new issue has arisen:

 

its asking me to select a server and is I try my server ip and port it throws an error..  progress?

 

There is a docker container called Cloudflare-DDNS by selfhosters that you can run to keep your dynamic IP upto date.  Spaceinvader one has a video on this.

Try and clear browser cache

 

I have just changed to a static IP and forgot to change it. so I can now get to the jellyfin page but it now asks for a server

After clearing cache and opening a different browser in private mode I still get this:

Does it work from the webgui?  When you added your IP did you included the port such as 192.168.1.50:8096

Yeah, on local net it works fine.

 

I try this and get the error

 

Make sure “Allow remote connections to this server” is enabled on the Jellyfin server (Administration | Dashboard | Advanced | Networking)

It seems correct..

 

Not to sure then.  I actually use Plex.  Try and post in Jellyfin support page.

That sounds like a good idea.

 

Thank you very much for all your help. you got me a lot further than I have been able to get for a few days now..lol

 

If I find a solution I will post it here.

 

Thankyou again

Hey wondering if you got your Jellyfin working.  I asked my son about it and when it says add a server try and use your web URL with https:// again and not the ip and port number.  Seems odd to me but maybe worth a shot.

Hi Gragorg,

 

Sorry it has taken so long to reply, but yes, I figured it out about about a month ago. Sorry, I didn't get back to you I got distracted by life and forgot to reply.

 

In the Cloudflare cname I miskeyed one of the IP addresses and because I was looking at it so many times, I just glanced over it about 100 times before I finally noticed it. 

 

Again thanks for all the help, we were on the right track, but you type two numbers in the wrong order and it's all kaput!..
