So I'm trying to get Jellyfin accessible on the open web through a cloudflared tunnel

I have a default install of Jellyfin running that is still accessible locally.

I'm able to ping TV.myblogdomain.com

And the Cloudflared dashboard says the connection is up.

I have implemented page rules and caching rules to turn CDN off.

I have set the DNS server on the Jellyfin VM to be the Cloudflared DNS server.

It's pointed to https://jellyfin:8096/

And it wasn't working with or without a CIDR in the tunnel configuration.

Should I try uninstalling fail2ban and see if that helps? I thought I configured it right pointing it to the 8096 port but maybe I need to do 80/443?

Any tips or guides would be appreciated.

I'll try swapping it to http unless you think I should run nginx or something to certify it. I don't know if that will help.

I always advocate for HTTPS. I run a caddy proxy and sidestep cloudflare all-together.

I assume a Caddy set up would get me a URL? I might look into that.

[–] Xanza@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Correct. Mine is 'jelly.domain.com' which bidirectionally forwards traffic between my domain and my home server.

You don't need caddy if you're running cloudflare tunnels.

[–] nagaram@startrek.website 1 points 1 year ago

Fair, but if I'm technically violating TOS and CF tunnels aren't working anyways, I might as well try it.

I run caddy to handle https certs. Works great and it's incredibly easy to setup
