JellyFin, NPM and HTTPS

Hello there,

I'm here because I've some trouble having Jellyfin being available for
some friends over HTTPS.

Setup:

My Jellyfin server is running in a Ubuntu VM, this VM is also running
Docker (and the full stack JellySeerr/Radarr/Nginx).

I Used DuckDNS to get a domain name, then used the NGINX built-in tool
to get a certificate ( 2 domains registered in the same cert,
foo.duckdns.org and \*.foo.duckdns.org).

Under "Proxy host", I've setup a domain (jellyfin.foo.duckdns.org),
the  right internal IP, the right port (default in this case),
selected the "mixed" cert for SSL, ticked the force SSL and HTTP/2
switches.

​

Problems:

When I test using the domain specified in Nginx with Cellular data or
a vpn, I can access Jellyfin everytime with HTTPS ( no warnings from
the browser etc), but when I ask some friends to reach the server with
the same URL, some might have warnings, some not.

I've tried multiples browser(Edge,Brave,Chrome) (same as my mates
where it doesn't work) and every time it's fine for me.

To be added, two of my friends are living in the same place, same ISP,
but one is able to access HTTPS, the other not (Brave is OK, Chrome is
not).

What could be the problem?

Should I create a SSL cert for every sub-domain?

​

Thanks for your time

Try `curl -v https://thedomain` running on you and your friends to
compare which steps it borked on.

why not rclone? If all you need is a reverse proxy and https, why do
people bother with nginx? it's 100x more complicated.

What kind of warnings ?

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Just "this website is insecure, hacker ( or smthg like this) might try
to get your personnal informations"

I'll try to get informations from the curl command someone posted
earlier, and see what it returns.
