Can't reach new Jellyfin install on local network - sekondchakra - 2025-03-11
I've been running Jellyfin on my Synology NAS under docker for awhile, and I was curious if I'd get better performance if I tried running Jellyfin on an old Arch Linux PC I haven't used in a long time (with decent specs).
The install went well, and it's up and running, but I can only access it via localhost:8096 on the PC. It won't connect from my Mac--and I assume that means it won't connect from my nVidia Shield either? (Although I haven't actually attempted that yet.)
Is this a Jellyfin thing--or an Arch (EndeavourOS) thing? Both?
[edit] It must be a firewall thing. When I ran the following command (based on some googling) I was able to connect from another machine within the network:
$ sudo systemctl stop firewalld
[2nd edit] I figured out how to add the two ports I needed into the firewall settings, and all seems well now. 👍
