redirect to https on mobile app - robertkwild - 2025-03-24
hi all,
new to jellyfin here and so far so good, i followed this guide to make it https
https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/quick-start/windows/
just missed the duckdns part as i have a dynu account with opnsense plugin and for the task scheduler i just made a simple bat and ps1 script
in "shell:startup" i have a bat file
powershell -File "C:\Program Files\caddy\jellyfin.ps1"
and my ps1 file is
cd 'C:\Program Files\caddy\'
start-process -windowstyle hidden caddy run
on a wan pc to access my jellyfin server if i type in
my.domain.com/jellyfin
it redirects me to
https://my.domain.com/jellyfin
but on the mobile app it doesnt redirect me as if i look at my server in settings it says http?
thanks,
rob

Jellyfin will be configured for http since Caddy is handling https. Did you set the bareurl setting in Jellyfin? What does your caddyfile look like?
RE: redirect to https on mobile app - robertkwild - 2025-03-25
hi,
my caddyfile looks like this
my.domain.com
redir /jellyfin /jellyfin/
reverse_proxy /jellyfin/* 127.0.0.1:8096
as in my jellyfin server i have put in /jellyfin in my baseurl
so the reason its not redirecting is it because it cant redirect from http to https on the mobile app but it can on the web as caddy is redirecting it?
RE: redirect to https on mobile app - TheDreadPirate - 2025-03-25
I don't recall if the app can handle redirects like that.
Does the app connect when you type out the entire address, including the protocol and the full sub-path?
RE: redirect to https on mobile app - robertkwild - 2025-03-25
well it looks like the app cant handle redirects, redirects only work on web using caddy as that handles it instead
and the app connects only using the sub path, you having to put in https otherwise it will connect you via http
you think its possible for the app to handle redirects?

Which OS is your phone running? iOS or Android?
RE: redirect to https on mobile app - robertkwild - 2025-03-25
im running ios
RE: redirect to https on mobile app - TheDreadPirate - 2025-03-25
I got clarification from the devs. Redirects are potentially malicious so we explicitly do not follow redirects in our apps for both iOS and Android.
RE: redirect to https on mobile app - robertkwild - 2025-03-25
thanks for confirming, much appreciated
then if thats the case my NAT allows port 80 (http) and 443 (https)
obviously caddy needs both ports open, port 80 for letsencrypt renewel and 443 for web browsing
is there anyway to make port 80 to not show a page ie jellyfin and have it just for renewal
RE: redirect to https on mobile app - TheDreadPirate - 2025-03-25
If you are using Caddy, you do NOT need port 80 open as it can do TLS-ALPN challenges and is the default challenge type.

Close port 80. Solves both problems.
