iOS - Gigajuup - 2024-07-27
Hi all. I am currently hosting a Jellyfin server instance on a win10 machine.
I made a self signed ssl cert and https works via the webbrowser, when I try to connect the iOS jellyfin app it instantly says it cannot connect to the server. However the app connects just fine with http.
Any clue what could be the issue?

AFAIK, iOS does not allow you to manually add certificates to their trust store. And Jellyfin will not connect to https connections the OS doesn't trust. The same applies for Android, but Android does allow you to add certs to the trust store.

I was able to trust the certificate on my iphone by downloading it and installing it via ios settings however jellyfish still doesn't want to connect to it. any other clues what i could try to get it to work. preferably with a self singed cert or a free alternative?

If you're going to use a cert, I'd recommend using Caddy on Windows, which can automate the request and installation of a legit cert. Much much easier than trying to force Jellyfin to trust a self signed cert.
