brabs 0 Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Hi everyone. I am trying to secure my Emby server on my Mac, so I can share with my mum. Ive found a few videos on YouTube on how to do it with caddy 2. but When it comes to command lines I'm useless and unsure.It also looks like I need to install some brew thing via command line too. I like the idea of using caddy for the auto ssl. I can use ddns in my Draytek router for domain. Is there an idiots guide for this, as most videos I see seems to assume you know command lines. Or is there an easier way? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 (edited) Have you tried setting this up under the Network settings in Emby without Caddy 2?

brabs 0 Posted April 1, 2021 Author Share Posted April 1, 2021 hi Hxemby001, I had a quick look at that and a lot seems windows based. I would also like to make it more set and forget with regards to ssl certificates. I don't mind getting through some nitty gritty getting caddy setup. but its all bait scary at the moment.

Hi Luke, I have a ddns through my Draytek router "XXXXX.drayddns.com" That is all at the moment. I'm not sure whether caddy reverse proxy or Cloudflare are the best option. Are one of them all I need now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36887 Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 What about nginx? That seems to be quite popular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 36887 Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 What do you mean by sort? It supports SSL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not with a basic setup "out of the box" no, But it can be done, and there are posts on here as to how to set this up... Let us know if you can't find it. I didn't write that how-to but I know its in the forums somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi pir8radio, I found the how to Nginx thread but reading the first post makes it sound to hard for me, I'm not great with terminal either. the author of that post (Swynol) was the one who also did a write up for Cloudflare, then I see caddy the preferred way for other uses. The Cloudflare way seems it might be good, but I don't understand the name servers part and the pictures are now missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brabs 0 Posted April 13, 2021 Author Share Posted April 13, 2021 I'm having change of plan, I'm waiting delivery of a newer Draytek router that along with ddns (DrayDDNS), can also get and renew certificates with letsencrypt. hoping this might be an easier way to encrypt. I will come back and let you know how I go in a week or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you setup port forwarding on the ssl port? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What ports need to be forwarded? Never done port forwarding before. There is a section in the router settings called port redirection, would that be it?

Luke 36887 Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Yes that would be it. Have you taken a look at our remote connections guide? https://support.emby.media/support/solutions/articles/44001849007-connectivity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brabs 0 Posted April 18, 2021 Author Share Posted April 18, 2021 I can connect remotely with phone 4G connection using http on port 8096. I also have the option “enable automatic port mapping”enabled. When trying https in port 8920. I don’t get connection. Does this go beyond the automatic port mapping? Is there a different port I need to use with the Draytek routers ssl certificate? It’s a vigor 2870 model if that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe my isp blocks those ports, but is there a way to find out? I can get http traffic through port 8096. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
