Works well. https://mythofechelon.co.uk/blog/2017/01/01/lets-encrypt-emby-server-and-windows Hello everyone, I've followed this step by step tutorial to add SSL to my Emby Server. Unfortunatly for the moment when i try to reach my server using the https adress (https://myserver.com:8920) it does not work. Does someone as any clue to give to help me proceed ? Let me know what informations you need. Thanks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceboy 2492 Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 where does it fail? can you access your server at https://local-ip:8920 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lola_The_Kook 0 Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Nope I can't either but i thought SSL was only working with a DNS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceboy 2492 Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 ok, that seems like an incredibly complicated way to get SSL for your emby. personally i use this https://blog.awelswynol.co.uk/2017-06-emby-server-https-reverse-proxy/ but the guide you are following has you forward a port from your router to emby. if you cannot access emby on your LAN using that ip and port combination then its not going to work externally either 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did open the ports on my router so ... I don't really know what's wrong Here's a screen cap of my router NAT/PAT configuration (where 192.168.1.34 is my local IP for Emby) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So : As I said in my previous post yes Yes I've set a static DHCP lease on my router so the IP of my emby server is always 192.168.1.34. I've let the "local IP address" field on emby blank Yes, I've opened the port 8920 in and out for all profils (domain, private, public) Nope Secondary question : I needed to forward port 80 to proceed with the guide I've followed with IIS and Certify. I don't know if it still need to be forwarded now. I did some tests with port 443, but I can remove it now, cause I don't need it anymore. Following your questions, I'm thibking that maybe the only thing I did wrong is the opening of port 8920 on the Windows Firewall. Is there any specific settings that have to be done ?

Thanks again for guiding and helping me ok, so if you disable Windows Firewall on your emby server, can you then access emby at https://192.168.1.34:8920 ? if yes, the problem is your configuration of windows firewall for port 8920 If no, the problem is configuration of emby how about the plain http port? does that work with windows firewall on at http://192.168.1.34:8096 ?

richardvrusso 10 Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 (edited) Hi all, I know I'm late to the game but thought I'd share my experience. I have emby running on Win10 pro, domain name thru namecheap, namecheap's dynamic DNS client and reverse-proxy from Caddy. What is nice about Caddy, true it has no gui, but it does ALL the Let's Encrypt work for you, even renewing the certs. From what I've learned from using Caddy, apps you want to secure thru it need minimal tweaking. Even apps that do not have built-in 443 can still be secured thru Caddy. So on my emby network page for the public ports I have 80&443. Then the public url in the external domain field. Then my firewall only has 80&443 forwarded to emby. My friends/family can all access via the emby public url. Internally I only access it with port 8096. Externally only port 443. regards, ®Ich Edited October 5, 2021 by richardvrusso Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lola_The_Kook 0 Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Hi all ! Sorry it took so long for me to reply. My NAS crashed and it took me some time to put it back running. Si thank you @richardvrusso for the tip. If i'm not able to go through the SSl process, maybe I'll try your way. For the moment I'm using noip DNS so it's free, I'd like to stay that way but I'll keep it in mind. @Spaceboy : You haven't react to my last screen capture. Any idea what I should do next ? Thanks again for all your ideas guys ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
