I love my Jellyfin server. It does all sorts of great things and doesn't phone home -ever- like most of the competition does (cough Plex/Embly... ). There are many things that are just a little off, especially if you want to use the web interface without a mouse. It isn't possible. The C# guys are 100% mousers and the UI demands this. It is really sad that PgUp/PgDn don't work in the TV Guide grid. Setting recordings to "record all" doesn't work consistently. and IPTV channels

cannot be recorded because ffmpeg doesn't deal with m38u streams correctly. OTA HDHR support is very good, however and the matching of local content to metadata is much better than what Plex provides.

HTTPS doesn't really secure anything. It just ensures that no MiTM attack happens (assuming many things). Ref: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRWbNno4sN4 - summar:

TLS Doesn’t Do Any Of These Things

Add Security Block Intruders Keep Your Credit Card Secret Stop Password Theft

What TLS Does

Encrypt traffic between client and server Identify server, client, or both Nothing more.

Hi ! I'm trying to set up my jellyfin server to do just that and I'm in need of a few complimentary explanations (I don't know anything about netwotks...). For the domain name : I don't really know where to redirect it, is it my_public_ip:8096 and on my router I forward the port 8096 or should it be the ports for http / https. And in the Nginx configuration shoul I switch 127.0.0.1 to my_local_server_ip ? In any case thank you for that guide wich is a god send in a sea of contradictory solutions :)
