Hi :)

All mods on procycling@lemmy.world are inactive, and it'd be useful going forward if we could get an active mod. I'm on a different instance, obviously, but I don't mind doing it. If you'd rather make someone with an account on this instance mod that's fine and I'll ask if there are any volunteers.

Is that possible?

...should we migrate somewhere else?

We need at least one active mod to make it worthwhile to invest time in this community and set up a bot, etc.

So maybe I am missing something obvious, but here goes:

I've got a small server at home, and I have simply.com pointing various domains to it. Works fine, nginx routs the traffic where it needs to go.

But whenever I am at home and connected to wifi I have to use the internal address and port to reach my server, e.g. 192.168.0.192:8096 for my Jellyfin server. If I use the public URL at home, i hit the login page to my router.

This is annoying when I use apps, as I need to switch between the public URL and the internal address as I come and go from my home...

What are my options for doing something about this? I want to use the public URL at home too....

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

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?
