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.

That didn't work either. Ok, so...from the basics:

My setup is:
-My own domain name with Cloudflare pointing to my public IP and NPM managing that to
connect to my Docker container names (as the forward hostname for proxy host).
-Latest Ubuntu LTS on a mini PC server.
-I have Jellyfin and Jellyseerr on Docker.
-I use ProtonVPN (the CLI tool) and my download client (qBitt) not in Docker.

My goal:
Still access Jellyfin/Jellyseer outside of my local network via browser/app while my local VPN is on.

My issue:
Everything already works perfectly how I like it too, until the VPN turns on.
Once the VPN is active, I can no longer access JF/JS outside of my network.

I would even be satisfied with binding my download client to my VPN's network adapter, but the
issue with that is I do not see the adapter. I'm not sure if this is because I use the CLI tool or what.
I don't see "proton0" like they show here for the Linux section at the bottom:

Below is an image of the network adapters I currently can see:
