Emby on Docker + Nginx reverse proxy

[lgromb 1]

Hello guys,

 

I'm pretty new to Emby, and one feature I want to work as much as possible is mobile Sync. As I do a lot of commute in network blank areas, I like to sync my medias prior to leaving home/work and watch them on the Emby Android App.

 

I installed Emby via Docker using the official image, in bridged network. Using nginx, I reverse proxified emby using what I could find here, to that configuration :

  server {
    listen 2443 ssl;
    server_name emby.example.com; 
    ssl_session_timeout 30m;
    ssl_protocols TLSv1.2 TLSv1.1 TLSv1;
    ssl_certificate      /etc/certificates/wildcard/example.cer;
    ssl_certificate_key  /etc/certificates/wildcard/domain.key;
    ssl_session_cache shared:SSL:10m;	
    access_log /var/log/nginx/example/443-emby_access.log;
    error_log /var/log/nginx/example/443-emby_error.log;
    #add_header X-Xss-Protection "1; mode=block" always;
    #add_header X-Content-Type-Options "nosniff" always;
    #add_header Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=2592000; includeSubdomains" always;
    #add_header X-Frame-Options "SAMEORIGIN" always;
    proxy_hide_header X-Powered-By;
    #add_header 'Referrer-Policy' 'no-referrer';
    #add_header Content-Security-Policy "frame-ancestors home.example.com example.com emby.example.com;";
    location / {
      proxy_pass http://192.168.1.97:8096;
      proxy_redirect off;
      proxy_set_header Range $http_range;
      proxy_set_header If-Range $http_if_range;
      proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
      proxy_set_header Host $host;
      proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
      proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Protocol $scheme;
      proxy_http_version 1.1;
      proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
      proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
    }
}

(Don't mind the listen 2443, it's actually to use with sshuttle)

So this is wonderfully working for streaming (both Web/Android/Android TV, any network, any connection)

 

The only thing that doesn't work is Sync on Android, everytime I try to download something, it immediatly stops and Emby shows it at 0% indefinitly.

 

Here's a log extract from the moment I pressed "Download" on the app until it stopped doing anything.

I'm maybe missing something, but why the webserver try to serve http://emby.exemple.com:8096 knowing that the only open port on my setup is 443 over https ?

This is the Emby advanced config :

 

 

If any info is missing please ask me, I'll provide them. Thanks for your help !

Hi, currently the progress will always stay at zero but in the download notification you can see the progress bar that shows download progress. Is that moving?

Hi Luke, the download bar disappears almost instantly when clicking the Download button on the Android app. Already checked the Storage permission for Emby, any other clue or something else I can test? Do you see something wierd in my setup ?

[Luke 37329]

Can you try without the reverse proxy? Thanks.

[pir8radio 1294]

Try without SSL...    And take a look at this post:  https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/69425-cant-sync-via-reverse-proxy/?p=698199

 

guessing same issue. 

[lgromb 1]

Hi both of you,

 

I tested by opening the 8096 port, directly. That also means without SSL.

No luck, same issue, the download progress bar on phone appears for a microsecond and then goes away.

Logs show the same "SocketException" error.

 

I'll check the link you sent !

Hi again, regenerating my fullchain on let's encrypt did the trick, thanks for the help !
