Hello. I gotta say that I'm very new to anything networking. it's possible I am missing something very obvious. I've tried a few tutorials and can't seem to find a solution that actually works.
My setup is an entire machine dedicated to running the jellyfin server directly plugged into my home network running Ubuntu Server headless. I use SSH to connect to it and do configuration. When outside the network, I connect to jellyfin by using my public IP with port 8096.
I'm trying to set up a reverse proxy so that the connections are over https and so that I can just point my device to a URL instead of an IP address if I'm using my server outside of home.
I've purchased a domain off namecheap and am trying to use cloudflare as my dns. On cloudflare, I have my "A" dns record set up to point to "jellyfin.domain.com" and pointed that to the machine's public IP. I cannot attempt to point it to the 8096 port, as cloudflare just complains that it's not a valid IPv4 address.
My caddyfile is set up as below:
This is the only uncommented portion of my caddyfile. I've tried different variations of this, including:
1. Replacing just domain.com in the "my domain" field with jellyfin.mydomain.com.
2. Replacing "machine's local IP:8096 to localhost, localhost:8096, the public IP with and without port.
No combinations have resulted in success. I left this issue for a couple weeks but coming back to it, I'm having the same issues after about an hour of troubleshooting on top of the time before today. I have verified that the caddy service is running on the machine. I've googled a good bit, and nothing I can find seems to work either or offer troubleshooting steps.
Many thanks for help.
