Remote Control Devices from Jellyfin - 8bitHero - 2025-04-01
I am running Jellyfin server on a Linux server from Docker. I have it set to host networking...
Code:
services:
jellyfin:
container_name: jellyfin
image: jellyfin/jellyfin:latest
user: "99:100"
volumes:
- /mnt/user/appdata/jellyfin:/config
- /dev/shm:/cache/transcodes
- /mnt/user/media:/mnt/user/media
devices:
- /dev/dri:/dev/dri
ports:
- "8096:8096"
environment:
- TZ=${TZ}
- UMASK=${UMASK}
- JELLYFIN_PublishedServerUrl=${JELLYFIN_PUBLISHED_SERVER_URL}
- JELLYFIN_FFmpeg__analyzeduration=${JELLYFIN_FFMPEG_ANALYZE_DURATION}
- JELLYFIN_FFmpeg__probesize=${JELLYFIN_FFMPEG_PROBE_SIZE}
networks:
- warpzone
healthcheck:
test: ["CMD", "curl", "-f", "http://localhost:8096/"]
interval: 30s
timeout: 10s
retries: 3
start_period: 40s
restart: unless-stoppedThe server lists on 192.168.1.2 on my "Trusted" network. I am using Jellyfin on a NVIDIA Shield TV Pro device. It is connected to my "Untrusted/IOT" network at 192.168.3.124
I have the following firewall rules in place...
"Allow Return Traffic" is ticked.
When I play something from my NVIDIA Shield TV Pro (192.168.3.124) to Jellyfin (192.168.1.2) it works great, except in the Dashboard I do not have the option to control the NVIDIA device. Such as stopping/pausing/sending messages. I was wondering what ports I am missing to make that happen.
Thank you!

Web sockets are required for device control to function. I don't think your rule would affect just web sockets.
However, if you are using a reverse proxy you may need to enable websockets depending on which one you are using.

I am using Caddy but nothing crazy...
jellyfin.domain.com {
reverse_proxy localhost:8096
}
RE: Remote Control Devices from Jellyfin - TheDreadPirate - 2025-04-01
Is the Shield connecting through your domain name? And is caddy also a container? Or installed directly on the host?
AFAIK, Caddy automatically supports web sockets for reverse_proxy configs. And if you can connect at all, web sockets should also be going through. So the answers to my initial questions shouldn't really matter.....
