Jellyfin behind squid - Jellyfan95 - 2023-09-26

Hello guys,
a month ago i put all my services, standing in the internet, in a seperate network without internet (just for security reasons, maybe i am paranoid yes). The only way the services can update etc is over a squid in other network.
For nextcloud etc. i find documentation about proxy usage, but for jellyfin there is only documentation about reverse_proxy. I am using the docker linuxserver.io-Image. I can bash into the container an set HTTP_PROXY-Variables. apt update is running perfectly there, but jellyfin is ignoring environment Variables. I also tried as described here: https://www.reddit.com/r/jellyfin/comments/dwabzt/have_jellyfin_use_a_proxy/

Jellyfin cant fetch any data without the proxy.
Is there any way to set proxy-values that jellyfin will accept?

Hey @Jellyfan95

I am afraid no. The jellyfin code-base does not support any outgoing proxy.
Most rely on VPNs like Tailscale or ZeroTier for network isolation, maybe look into that instead.

I am running jellyfin browser client with squid proxy on my internal network and it works fine. If using a web browser client You may need to adjust your brower network proxy setting to exclude your internal network. Otherwise I would imagine the "fat" jellyfin client won't work since it can't be configured to use a non-stadard port.

My two cents, hope it helps
