emby https connection

[frpatte 2]

Bonjour,

I try to configure an https connection for my emby-server without any success...

I can connect from localhost:8096

                      from http://www.mydomain.net:8096

But the connection https://www.mydomain.net:8920 is impossible.

The https connection is enabled for my server and works fine.

I can read that on the dashboard page of emby, there is an "advanced setting" link but I am unable to see where is this link.

Thank you for helping.

F.P.

Hi, did you setup ssl on your Emby server, under the network settings? You need to do this first before you can use https.

Hi, here is what I have done for these settings:

LAN networks : blank

Local IP address: blank

Local HTTP port number: 8096

Local HTTPS port number: 8920

Allow remote connections to this Emby Server. ticked

Remote IP address filter: blank

Remote IP address filter mode: Whitelist

Public HTTP port number: 8096

Public HTTPS port number: 8920

External domain: mydomain.net

Custom SSL certificate path: /etc/letsencrypt/csr/0003_csr-certbot.pem

Secure connection mode: Prefered but not required

Max simultaneous video streams: Unlimited

Internet streaming bitrate limit (Mbps): blank

 

That's all I have on this page "networks".

If I scan the port 8096 on the emby machine, it is open, but the port 8920 remains closed although this port is not filtered by the firewall.

Thank you for helping.

F.P.

As denoted in helper text, Emby requires PKCS12 format, you need to convert your pem certificate file.

OK! Thank you.

I am not an expert in web-certificates and did not understand this instruction. So, I converted the certificate to pfx and now it works.

Some trouble however: I put my pfx certificate in /etc/letsencrypt/archive and try to give this path to emby but at the moment where I reached the folder "archive" the form does not show anything! I moved the certificate to the "certs" folder of emby-server and it worked.

Thank you.

The server must not have access to that location, but it sounds like you found a place to put it, thanks for the feedback.
