I followed YouTube videos and all my domain points to is "server not found." My domain is through Cloudflare. My server's ports have been opened at the router.

Proxy Host Settings: Domain name: newly.registered.domain Scheme: http (I've tried https too) Forward hostname/IP: local.server.ip.v4 Forward port: jelly_port Access list: Publicly accessible SSL: *.newly.registered.domain

I'd love to share my certificate info, but I don't see a way to do that...but I set up the DNS thingy with a Cloudflare API token. I remember typing in my server's public IP here too. Took many tries, but it finally accepted the settings as valid.

So what am I missing to get a reverse proxy? I thought it was supposed to work after all of that.

I've been trying to get this going for so long that it just feels like I'm beating my head against the wall until it randomly works, ya know?

You're trying to run before you can walk. Run a "hello world" HTTP container, no cloudflare or proxy, and make sure you can reach it. But test it with your phone on mobile data, or https://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/, because it probably won't work on the LAN without NAT loopback/hairpinning.

Also, don't put jellyfin on the internet anyway, it's not designed for it. If you want external access, use a VPN.

Thank you, that's really solid advice. It turns out my efforts may have been misguided anyway. I think I was under the impression that "internet exposure" and "Cloudflare tunnel" had similar setups

The whole reason I bought the domain is because I was told to stop using Tailscale for this purpose. I'm so confused...

[–] CommanderShepard@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

You can use Tailscale and a personal domain. Run Tailscale on the same machine as your reverse proxy. Then point DNS records to the machine's Tailscale IP. Now you can access any services from any machine connected to your Tailscale with a valid HTTPS certificate

Well, those do different things. Expose the VPN, connect via your domain name.
