As you can forward by ip but not by name it sounds like resolver issue.

how can I find out more about this?
On the host of the nginx rev proxy or in nginx config files. Something seems to block the lookup from name to ip, as ip works you know the proxy works. Check dns config and nginx config on that host
here's the configuration file for jellyfin:
# ------------------------------------------------------------
# jellyfin.tubbadu.duckdns.org
# ------------------------------------------------------------
map $scheme $hsts_header {
https "max-age=63072000; preload";
}
server {
set $forward_scheme http;
set $server "192.168.1.13";
set $port 8096;
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;
listen 443 ssl;
listen [::]:443 ssl;
server_name jellyfin.tubbadu.duckdns.org;

on the server host myserverhostname correctly resolves, but if I enter the container (docker exec -it nginx-app-1 bash) it does not work anymore:
[root@docker-11e3869f946f:/app]# host tserver
Host tserver not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)
(I had to install dnsutils before)
it seems a nginx issue then
Could also be docker network-config. Docker should by default use the hosts resolver config if there’s nothing in /etc/resolve.conf
You can also supply dns server on the docker command or in your compose file if you’re using compose.
As a last resort you can enter server and ip i the container’s /ets/host file if the ip is static. But that’s gone once you rebuild the image.
Or maybe there’s env on the container you use for dns
I found a solution: use myserverhostname.station instead of just the hostname. I really have no idea why, on the previous installation it worked well with just the hostname... ahh, whatever.
thank you very much for the help!
