Keep server on while VPN is active, using Docker? - 4r5hw45twh - 2025-01-19

This worked perfectly fine on Windows. Just migrated to Ubuntu.
Basically, I could have my VPN enabled at all times and Jellyfin would still be accessible and whatnot.
Never needed to do split tunneling or anything. That was a non-Docker setup.

I now am on Ubuntu and use a Docker setup and I noticed the moment I turn the VPN on, I can no longer access JF from the web. When I turn it off, it immediately gives me access again.
With Windows, this was never an issue. This is basically the last piece of the puzzle I need. Using ProtonVPN.

You can try configuring Jellyfin to bind to your actual LAN IP. So that it doesn't try to bind to the VPN IP.

Would this effect Jellyseer seeing it or anything, though?

If Jellyseerr is running on the same machine it shouldn't affect its access to Jellyfin.

This option here (top one)? If so, do I put the local IP on the server PC or the public IP, or?

Yes, that setting. You'd put the local IP of the server.
