Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

in order to add certs you would need a certificate authority, capable of setting up a proper certificate chain. There are several, ranging from the super simple like mkcert to full scale management tools like openCA. The second step is harder and require your consuming apps (the devices and apps that connects to your jellyfin) to trust your CA. An alternative would be to have a proper domain and use LetsEncrypt to get a cert, then trust will work out of the box, but it might also leak information about your private infrastructure.
traffic will go through your proxy
Ah I see. I think I read somewhere that using your own cert requires you to add it to each device that will access said service, which for me is a bit of a deal breaker. I don't think the rest of the family would be too thrilled; I have to make my projects somewhat transparent to them XD
I use a real domain name, but only have them available internally (and use WireGuard to access them when out and about). You can use letsencrypt with them then because you can validate through DNS.
I see. I have a valid domain as well that I could use, which would make things easier. I guess after I set things up, I can lock down Nginx/ my home lab again, and the certs would still work. My biggest worry was exposing my internal systems to the world.
Yeah. I don't expose anything other than the WireGuard port.
You can validate the wildcard certificate at your registrar, so you don't need to open anything up to the world.
Would you need to leave Nginx "online" after setting up the certs? I have mine so that it can't reach out at all.
