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?

    Ok, this is an extensive answer (thank you), but also a lot to unpack. Before I go making a bridge network, I wanna make sure I’m following you. I’m pretty inexperienced with self-hosting in general outside of Docker, but I’m especially a novice with anything networking so pardon my ignorance here.

    Yes, Jellyfin is accessible locally. Performance is the best I’ve ever seen it too. I uninstalled Tailscale on my Ubuntu server (it was causing networking issues, frankly I didn’t understand how) and removed it from my tailnet dashboard, but Jellyfin is still remotely accessible via Tailscale (which is fine, I guess).

    At this point, my users and I are trying to avoid Tailscale on mobile devices when possible. Two reasons: 1. prevents maintaining regular VPN usage (deal breaker for a couple people) 2. switching between home wifi and mobile drops connectivity, required turning networking off and on again (deal breaker for me, I got spoiled by Synology’s reverse proxy and can’t go back)

    From what I can tell, there’s no CGNAT trickery at play (actually the internet says otherwise). My DNS is a local Pihole+Unbound, in case that matters. The Ubuntu IP is static. Were you requesting the yaml of Jellyfin or Nginx?

    And I believe I was hoping to set up a “Cloudflare tunnel.” I think I was under the impression that this “tunnel” *is *a reverse proxy.
