Reverse Proxy Troubleshooting

[ToasterTom9737]

Hi all! I'm trying to setup Jellyfin to be accessible outside my home network with NGINX Reverse Proxy. This is my first foray into networking lol. 

The problem I'm having is that I see the "Add a Server" screen instead of the login screen when I go to the domain I have specified for the Jellyfin server. I would like to have the login screen just appear when I use the domain url. I can access the Jellyfin server just fine over LAN. 


Here's more details on my setup:
- I'm running NGINX Reverse Proxy (NPM) and Jellyfin using the Docker-Compose plugin in Open Media Vault 7 (OMV).
- Both NPM and Jellyfin containers are on the same bridge network.
     - nginx, the nginx db, and jellyfin containers all appear with their IP addresses when I use docker inspect on the bridge network.

- I'm using DuckDNS to get a domain to use.
     - I'm using my public IP for that and have a script in OMV to check for updates.

- I set up my proxy host in the NGINX web gui and have SSL certs using Let's Encrypt.
     - I'm using the Jellyfin container name + port 8096 instead of my host server's ip address to set up the Proxy host. (I have also tried using the Jellyfin container's ip address instead of the name.)

- I have ports 80 and 443 forwarded on my router to the host server IP. 

Any help is appreciated! I'm attaching my Jellyfin Docker Compose file below. Please let me know if I can provide more details. Thanks!

If you've previously accessed your jellyfin server directly from the browser that saw "Add server", that is not unusual.

When you access your Jellyfin, one of the pieces of information your server sends is an ID.

   

Jellyfin caches a bunch of data in your browser, including this ID.  If you access your server with a different address, but it sees the same ID, "Add a server" is what you'll see.

If someone accesses your server for the first time, which means it hasn't cached any data or IDs, they would see the login prompt.
