Running MBS over reverse proxy

[steve1977 67]

Title says it all. Anyone accomplished? It feels that there is a setting missing in MBS for me to set the path?

Looked through the old forums and it appears that this may not be possible yet. Would love to log this as a feature request. Thanks in advance!

This would  be an excellent feature for management as I'd like to run the server on port 80 alongside the other things I have running via a reverse proxy in Apache.

Thanks for sharing. Sabnzbd, SB, CP, headphones, XBMC and basically everything else can be run over reverse proxy. I believe it takes the developers to add a "path" and then it works? Not sure though, but would be great to look into it. This would allow me to only open one port to the outside world.

 

Thanks a ton for looking into this!

Let me bump this one up. Asssume this may be a very easy "fix" for the developers to do and great benefit for those of us who don't want to open many different ports...

Using Nginx as my reverse proxy, I have successfully set up the MB3 behind it. Here is how:

 

Add the following lines into your nginx config server block:

        location /mediabrowser/ {

                proxy_pass http://YOUR_MB3_SERVER:8096;

                include proxy_params;

        }

 

And then just reload the nginx:

>> sudo service nginx reload

 

Hope this helps.

I can confirm that I am now able to get reverse proxy working with Apache Win32 2.4.x with the following settings:

 

<Location /mediabrowser>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from all
ProxyPass http://htpc:8096/mediabrowser
ProxyPassReverse http://htpc:8096/mediabrowser
</Location>

So after further testing, running through Apache isn't quite ready for primetime yet (at least, with the rule I created).  A number of items on the dashboard are missing, and Chrome gripes about running scripts from "unathenticated sources."  For purposes of playback and metadata management, it's still pretty useful.

I just read through this thread. 

Sry to bump this but I see the problem with the setup in the past post right away. 

Reverse proxies are not meant to pass a directory along with the host and port and also must end with a /.

 

 

 
ProxyPass http://htpc:8096/
ProxyPassReverse http://htpc:8096/

 

Then access the apache server with a trailing /mediabrowser/ .

 

That should get you up and running. 

Now is it possible to get clients to support access to mediabrowser via SSL?

again, sorry to bump, 

 

heres the conetents of my apache2 conf-available file.

 

<Location /mediabrowser/>

order deny,allow

deny from all

allow from all

ProxyPass http://bigbox.home:8096/mediabrowser/

ProxyPassReverse http://bigbox.home:8081/mediabrowser/

</Location>

 

 

hope that works for you.
