Running MBS over reverse proxy

[steve1977 67]

Had opened another thread (http://mediabrowser.tv/community/index.php?/topic/1238-running-mbs-over-reverse-proxy/), but think it better fits here as a "feature request".

 

Would love to run MBS on port 80 alongside the other things (sabnzbd, sb, cp, hp, etc) via a reverse proxy in Apache.

 

I assume this should be very easy to implement by setting a "path". No idea how to code it, but hope to be easy to just "borrow" the code from sb, cp, hp or others.

 

Thanks in advance for considering!!!

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?

This does not involve mediabrowser. It will serve the data the same way it did before, but instead of to a client, to an apache server.

This can easily be accomplished with nginx.

 

In the server section of the sites config put this in. (ex: yourwebsite.com.conf)

 

location /mediabrowser {

        proxy_set_header Host $host;

        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;

        proxy_pass http://localhost:8096;

 

That should do it for you.

 

Nginx is less on cpu and ram than apache. depends on your what MB server has in it.
