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:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. 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.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Help with nginx & jellyfin (feddit.dk)

So I'm just getting started with selfhosting things, and I have a minor problem which I'm having some trouble solving, as I keep getting a connection refused error when trying to connect:

send() failed (111: Connection refused) while resolving, resolver: 127.0.0.1:53

I run a jellyfin server on a NUC - it works well and is accessible on the private network. I want to have a public URL for this server - and other stuff, eventually.

Here's my setup

  • I have a subdomain - jellyfin.mydomain.com - pointed to the external IP for my router
  • I have the router set up to allow remote access, and port forwarding directing all port 80 traffic to my public ip > port 80 on the server
  • On my server - running ubuntu - I installed nginx
  • I used the official jellyfin nginx config for access from a subdomain
  • I edited the server_name variable to match my subdomain

Now, whenever I access the subdomain in a browser I get a 502 Bad Gateway error. The /var/lof/nginx/error.logshows:

2024/05/10 08:26:37 [error] 95335#95335: send() failed (111: Connection refused) while resolving, resolver: 127.0.0.1:53

2024/05/10 08:27:07 [error] 95335#95335: *69 jellyfin could not be resolved (110: Operation timed out), client: 193.29.107.173, server: jellyfin.mysubdomain.com, request: "GET /web/ HTTP/1.1", host: "jellyfin.mysubdomain.com"

I have almost no experience with networking, linux, or nginx :D So I am sure the problem is obvious to someone else....

Can you help?
