I have Jellyfin on my Raspberry Pi and I usually access it via my local network or via SSH tunneling when I’m outside of my local network, but I want to be able to just access it via https outside of my local network.

I am following the instructions on Jellyfin’s Networking page here: https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/networking/

On the part where I input this command

openssl pkcs12 -export -out jellyfin.pfx -inkey privkey.pem -in /usr/local/etc/letsencrypt/live/domain.org/cert.pem -passout pass:

I get this error

Can't open /usr/local/etc/letsencrypt/live/domain.org/cert.pem for reading, No such file or directory

Any idea what I’m doing wrong?

Got it solved! For future people reading this, the solution is here: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/issues/6697#issuecomment-1086973795

Jellyfin’s Networking guide is all wrong.

    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 Failed

          An error occurred during a connection to [DOMAIN]:8920. PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR

          Error code: PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR

          The 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.

      Also I do have the port open in ufw and have port forwarded it in my router (https and http).
