Asking for server when using reverse proxy (Zoraxy)?

[blueshift]

Hello, 

I am currently using the newest version of Jellyfin on a Debian-based server wit Portainer. I set up Zoraxy for reverse proxying and it works pretty fine - except with Jellyfin!   

Jellyfin works totally fine within the internal network, but if I connect using the reverse proxy, it just shows a message to add a server! I can add whatever, the message still persists. I got Zoraxy on a different server in a different network but routes and firewall rules are already set correctly - other applications work totally fine like that. I changed the port 8096 to another one using mapped ports in Portainer.

What or where do I have to set something that Jellyfin isn't asking for a server anymore and finds the current installation? I already added several things as server (the A-record that shows on my public IP, etc.) but nothing worked?


Thanks for your help!

When you connect with the reverse proxy what address are you putting in the address box?

Hello TheDreadPirate,

I am using an A-record into that is showing on my public IP address. And that one is fowarding to Zoraxy and there I got an entry that fowards everything to the IP address and port of Jellyfin.

I meant when you are prompted to "add" a server, what are you typing in the prompt? The same domain address? Or your LAN IP?

What happens when you access your Jellyfin server via reverse proxy in a private/incognito window?

Hi, I tried to use the domain address and also the IP address. None was working... same when I use the private mode, directly openes the "add server" window.

I'm not familiar with Zoraxy. Can you share the config for Jellyfin (censor the domain) and walk me through what the various parameters do?

Hello TheDreadPirate,

I think I was able to solve my problem. After some investigation, I re-builded my docker container of Jellyfin from scratch. And after enabling external connections, automatic port-mapping and adding the IP-address of my reverse proxy all seems to work fine!

I am pretty sure it was a problem with the container itself because all those settings I did try before. I checked every setting twice but then I realized that I didn't see any external access in the logs itself. Now after re-building the container I see the external connections in the logs 

Thanks for your help!
