Connection to Jellyfin in Podman container - danseaman6 - 2024-05-17

Using the Jellyfin documentation basically to the letter, I have a jellyfin podman container up and running. I can confirm it's running with podman ps and via the cockpit console on Fedora Server:

Code:
CONTAINER ID  IMAGE                              COMMAND    CREATED        STATUS                  PORTS                  NAMES
172e8910e6b8  docker.io/jellyfin/jellyfin:latest              47 minutes ago  Up 47 minutes (healthy)  0.0.0.0:8096->8096/tcp  systemd-jellyfin

Port 8096 is mapped. I can confirm this again with firewall-cmd:

Code:
>> sudo firewall-cmd --list-all
FedoraServer (default, active)
  target: default
  ingress-priority: 0
  egress-priority: 0
  icmp-block-inversion: no
  interfaces: enp2s0
  sources:
  services: cockpit dhcpv6-client ssh
  ports: 8069/tcp
  protocols:
  forward: yes
  masquerade: no
  forward-ports:
  source-ports:
  icmp-blocks:
  rich rules

However, I can't access the web console at http://192.168.x.x:8096 - it simply times out. Nothing in the container logs indicate anything wrong, likewise for the networking logs on the server machine itself. Any advice?

You are probably using bridge networking, which means the container has its own IP. Use that instead.

Or you could switch to host networking, then using the 192.168.X.X:8096 host address and port will work.

you have opened the wrong port, you need to open port 8096, not 8069

Good catch.
