Question about caddy in relation to jellyfin

[SuperficialNight]

all the guides i can find like this one


https://forum.jellyfin.org/t-access-your...with-caddy

they say:

caddy reverse-proxy --from example.com --to 127.0.0.1:8096

if i use that with port 8096 will it still be encrypted via https after i sign in and start watching movies will the movies be encrypted via https aswell?

reason i ask is because i signed in and looked at playback info and it says

Protocol: http

even though i signed in via https

so im making sure that im encrypted

If caddy is on the same host as Jellyfin the comms between the client and caddy are encrypted. The comms between caddy and Jellyfin are not. But since they are the same host it doesn't matter.

aah i see to to clarify


Caddy and the server are not encrypted. However, since they are on the same host, it does not matter.
The movie goes from Jellyfin to Caddy to the client, and the Caddy to client connection being encrypted ensures that the video is encrypted regardless.
This means that the video remains secure as it travels from Caddy to the client, even though the connection between Caddy and the server is not encrypted.

have i got this correct?

Correct.
