How to change the URL after Syno Community package installation? - jhhh - 2025-01-19
Hi!
For a few weeks I installed the Jellyfin server on a Synology DS1621+ with the latest DSM 7.2.2. Works fine - some things I still have to figure out - that's fine.
Though I have one very sticky issue that I can't solve without some knowledgable help, I am afraid.
After installing the package (now Jellyfin 10.10.3-20) the package creates a link to the URL for the Web UI. This URL is the same URL as the WebUI of the DSM dashboard.
Now I created a reverse proxy address to connect clients to Jellyfin without adding the port number to the URL. For convenience and to give some non technical users easier access...
Now the orignal URL is "http://server.xyz.tld:8096"
The reverse proxy is "https://jellyfin.xyz.tld"
Now the new address works fine, also the SSL certificate works correctly.
But trying to use the internal link to open the jellyfin web UI from within the Synology DSM dashboard still uses the original URL and I cannot change that.
The package keeps insisting that the original URL will be used.
Now if I openanother browser window and type the new URL it works. But the quick link for users in ther DSM dashboard points to the wrong one and fails.
I read there is an sqlite database but I have no idea how to ccess this within the Synology DSM even if I connct to CLI via SSH.
In the Jellyfin settings there is an entry for "base URL" but that is only for adding a suffix as I understand it. Right?
Thanks a lot for some input here...
Best regards,
jhhh

Honestly, this sounds like a DSM issue. You may have better luck asking on their forum how to change the link in the DSM dashboard.
The base URL field would append the URL. You'd need to update the reverse proxy in addition to that setting in Jellyfin to make use of it. Not recommended if you can help it.
