did you set up letsencrypt/certbot in the first place to write files to
/usr/local/etc/letsencrypt/live/domain.org/cert.pem? If so, did you take care to replacedomain.orgby the actual domain you are using?The documentation you linked looks a bit funny in that the first command writes to private key/cert to privkey.pem and cert.pem, but then the second command tries to read in a (likely) certbot-created certificate. I guess if you followed the steps you need to replace
usr/local/etc/letsencrypt/live/domain.org/cert.pemin the second command by the cert.pem created in the first one?That makes sense.
So the domain name I am using already has letsencrypt/certbot set up as I access my Nextcloud from the web over https. I believe it throws the keys somewhere in /etc.
I guess what I should be doing is searching for where the first jellyfin command created the cert.pem file and then just adjust the path in the second command to that?
Either that (if you want to use a self-signed cert) or point it at the certbot-created files in /etc? If I understand the jellyfin docs correctly, the second command just translates the usual .pem files into a .pfx file for jellyfin, so should work with any certificate you give to it.
If you're going to do the latter, you should also add a certbot deploy script to regenerate the .pfx file after a certificate renewel (and possibly restart jellyfin, idk).
So I happened to have been in my home's /Downloads folder when I executed the commands and apparently it created the cert file there, so I pointed the second command at it and it created a pfx file. I point Jellyfin to it in the networking settings and it seems to have accepted it, but when I try to access it from the web I just get a 404. Argh frustrating.
I've never used Jellyfin so pretty sure I'm one of the worst people to ask and I doubt anybody else will see this so far down. If I were you I'd try and have a look at the logs - either the reverse proxy logs (which seem to be really popular these days) or the actual webserver/Jellyfin ones. Those will typically log some errors.
If you get a 404 from Jellyfin then port forwarding is set up correctly (as otherwise you wouldn't be able to connect to Jellyfin at all). You may be getting a 404 from something else though.
Nah the 404 is coming from Apache. Also I don't use a reverse proxy (yet, though I want to set up my own Lemmy instance on this Pi as well so I'll probably be setting up a reverse proxy before I do that so people don't know where I live).
Okay so the http port for Jellyfin is 8096 and the https is 8920. When I add those to the domain name from the web (https://[domain]:8920/jellyfin), I get this error:
Secure Connection FailedAn error occurred during a connection to [DOMAIN]:8920.PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERRORError code: PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERRORThe page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.So I assume the jellyfin pfx that I created is not the correct one and I should just be using the one created by certbot for the overall network itself.
