Trying to setup https with existing certbot SSL certificate - themuffinman22 - 2025-05-14
Hey all,
I'm sorry if this was asked before but I couldn't find any relevant answers. In general, I know the best way to set up secured remote access is with a reverse proxy like nginx or tailscale, but I want to use self-provided SSL because I already have them set up for other uses, and also I want to use Jellyfin with clients I can't setup the reverse proxy client on. So, I want to setup Jellyfin to use my own certification, and I managed to do it with Emby.
Maybe I'm doing something wrong, so is there a detailed guide to set up self-hosted SSL certificates? I can't access the https page even on local.
I have certbot running with auto-renew and openssl converting it to a pfx certificate. other then setting the relevant ports (I use 8921 so not to conflict with emby running as backup to Jellyfin), what do I need to set up?
Here are my networking settings:

(can I still access the server on http if require https is checked? until I manage to make this work 100% I don't want to turn it on as to not lose access to the server)
Thanks in advance!
