If you mean you're having trouble getting NPM to work with Jellyfin, here's how I got it working:

Make sure you have “Websockets Support” checked.

https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/33929e0a-a80c-421c-b520-f28f8c3b11aa.jpeg

Then create a custom location "/", with the following in the advanced config:

## The default `client_max_body_size` is 1M, this might not be enough for some posters, etc.
client_max_body_size 20M;

# Security / XSS Mitigation Headers
# NOTE: X-Frame-Options may cause issues with the webOS app
add_header X-Frame-Options "SAMEORIGIN";
add_header X-XSS-Protection "0"; # Do NOT enable. This is obsolete/dangerous
add_header X-Content-Type-Options "nosniff";

# COOP/COEP. Disable if you use external plugins/images/assets
add_header Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy "same-origin" always;
add_header Cross-Origin-Embedder-Policy "require-corp" always;
add_header Cross-Origin-Resource-Policy "same-origin" always;

# Permissions policy. May cause issues on some clients
add_header Permissions-Policy "accelerometer=(), ambient-light-sensor=(), battery=(), bluetooth=(), camera=(), clipboard-read=(), display-capture=(), document-domain=(), encrypted-media=(), gamepad=(), geolocation=(), gyroscope=(), hid=(), idle-detection=(), interest-cohort=(), keyboard-map=(), local-fonts=(), magnetometer=(), microphone=(), payment=(), publickey-credentials-get=(), serial=(), sync-xhr=(), usb=(), xr-spatial-tracking=()" always;

# Tell browsers to use per-origin process isolation
add_header Origin-Agent-Cluster "?1" always;

# Disable buffering when the nginx proxy gets very resource heavy upon streaming
proxy_buffering off;

Don't forward 80. In fact it would be best if you forgot 80 exists altogether.

That's good advice for public websites but they don't apply for private services.

They literally say "it doesn't matter" if you leave it open, but that you might come across issues if you don't

lemmyvore , 5 months ago

I meant it in the sense that you should get into the habit of avoiding any unencrypted connections, especially if they're routed through the open internet but it's also good practice to do it on your LAN. It's not essential on the LAN as it is on the internet but if you start doing it regularly it will be harder to mess up.

And it's also a good idea to get a domain and some Let's Encrypt certificates and set up a *.local.your.domain area for all your services, and learn about how DNS works, maybe start thinking about taking your email private and not depend on one of the big providers and so on and so forth. Lots of potential benefits for a self-hoster and for privacy.

NPM as in nginx and not Node Package Manager?

When you said Jellyfin streaming isn’t working - are you able to actually get to Jellyfin UI and its the stream failing, or you can’t access Jellyfin at all via nginx?

cozy_agent OP , 5 months ago

Nginx Proxy Manager.

Yeah I can see the Jellyfin UI, but the streaming fails, or is blocked by Cloudflare.

lal309 , 5 months ago

It’s not working because it is against Cloudflare’s ToS unfortunately.

First I would ask, do you really have to make Jellyfin publicly accessible?

If yes, are you able to setup a VPN (i.e. Wireguard) and access Jellyfin through that instead?

If you don’t want the VPN route then isolate the NPM and Jellyfin instance from the rest of your server infrastructure and run the setup you described (open ports directly to the NPM instance). That is how most people that don’t want to do Cloudflare are running public access to self hosted services. But first, ask yourself the questions above.

Nothing wrong, that's how it's done. Make sure everything has a password.

pearsaltchocolatebar , 5 months ago

A strong, unique password.

A strong, unique, glorious password

Glory to you... ^AND ^YOUR ^PASSWORD...
