This guide is great and what I used to get my server up and running on Windows 11. What it does not tell you, because the settings changed recently, and the problem I ran into was that in Jellyfin you need to go to Networking > Known Proxies > and enter in 127.0.0.1, otherwise it will not work. Hope this helps!

After watching all your videos on this topic and going through a lot of trial and error, I finally got it working. Thanks for sharing!

That's awesome! Thankfully there are amazing people out there who understand this stuff that put it in video tutorial form. Amazing stuff!

All of a sudden recently I'm having issues with caddy service starting in Windows 10. I posted in the video tut comments as well. Things were going just fine and now they aren't. Caddy service just won't start through Windows. I can manually start it through powersheel, my duckdns domain works, the ports are seen open. But as soon as I reboot it all fails again. No idea why as there is no log. I've even removed the service and follwed all the directions to re-sintall and still the same result.

Things are still working fine on a near identical setup I manage for a friend. So I'm stumped.

Should add when I manually run caddy service through powershell it never fully finishs and returns to a command prompt. So something isn't going correctly there either, even though my domain access and ports begin to work. Again no idea what happened to cause this.

Huge thanks to @DemonWarrior for the assistance on Discord in trying to sort this weird issue out. Found a working alternative. Very much appreciated!
