SOLVED: Nginx http2 issues

[TheDreadPirate]

Change

Code:

set $jellyfin jellyfin

to

Code:

set $jellyfin {insert IP address or 127.0.0.1}

That first one only works if "jellyfin" is the server's actual hostname. I prefer the IP anyway.

This did not solve to core issue either.
pulled up "journalctl -xeu jellyfin.service"

it says referenced but unset environment variables at the top, could that be the issue?

That's normal.  Those are optional settings that a default install doesn't use.

I just re-read our docs.  I'll have to do some testing, but I'm pretty sure jellyfin.conf shouldn't be in /etc/nginx/conf.d/.  I have all of my configs in /etc/nginx/sites-available and then I symlink the sites I want to enable to /etc/nginx/sites-enabled.

Code:

sudo su
cd /etc/nginx/conf.d/
mv jellyfin.conf ../sites-available/jellyfin
cd ../sites-enabled
ln -s ../sites-available/jellyfin jellyfin
systemctl reload nginx

That worked, thanks a ton for helping me out.

Someone defiantly need to fix the documentation though.

I was using this, and it told me to put it in conf.d

I'm writing up a PR to update our docs.
