    I have the Jellyfin server running on a Windows machine.  However, it is my wife's machine.  This makes it difficult to update, reboot, etc.

      So I'm trying to install Jellyfin on "Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS".   I installed using the bash script method.  The jellyfin service was listed as "masked" so I unmasked it using instructions from the internet.

      I could now get to the Jellyfin login from the local machine using "localhost:8096" or "192.168.1.254:8096"   What I _couldn't_ do is use "192.168.1.254:8096" from any other machine on my local network.

       I've been trying everything I could find on the internet, but none of it has worked.

       I did set "Allow remote connections to this server", but I did not add any IP filters. 

         I tried it with "ufw" disabled, enabled, enabled with 8096 allowed in many different ways.
      ufw status currently shows:

            sudo ufw status | grep 8096
            8096                      ALLOW      Anywhere
            8096 (v6)                  ALLOW      Anywhere (v6)

      Trying to access it from the brave browser reports "This site can't be reached".   firefox says the connection timed out.
     


       I _don't_ want to access this server from the web, only my local network.   However, I _do_ have nginx running on this machine for a mastodon server.
       All the Jellyfin nginx setups I saw seemed to be for port-forwarding with certificates for access on the web.

     
       How can I figure out what is going wrong?  The Jellyfin logs don't show anything when I try to connect from another host, so I'm not getting in at all.
       The ufw logs are also showing nothing when I attempt to log in.  The nginx logs do not show anything either.

      I can ping 192.168.1.254, but telnet to 192.168.1.254 8096 fails.  I _can_ ssh to this server, so at least some of the ports are accessible.


       I tried uninstalling and re-installing, but was then worried about _why_ the service was listed as masked.  I uninstalled everything and have reinstalled from the "*.deb" files.   The service is no longer listed as masked, but that still doesn't fix the local access problem.

    Thanks for your suggestions!
