SSL certificate help

[samury314 1]

I have a valid SSL certificate from No IP that I converted to .pfx and copied into several locations on my Debian/OMV server via WinSCP and a Samba share, including  into/etc/ssl/certs/. When I try to put the location of the file in Custom SSL Certificate Path under Network on the left-hand Settings pane it cannot find it, no matter the location I specify. The directories and files listed when I search from the Custom Certificate Path magnifying glass do not match those in WinSCP or the share either.

What is going on? How do I get Emby to recognize my certificate? How do I get the /etc/ssl/certs/ directory in Emby to match the one in my share?

Thanks for any help.

Hi, one thing you might want to try is putting the certificate file somewhere under the server data folder. This will guarantee that the server has access to that location. Please let us know if this helps. Thanks.

Thanks for the advice, but it is not working so far. It's like the server that Emby sees when I put the location in is completely different from the actual server that is there. Are these hidden in var/lib/docker/? I'm very confused.

Emby is installed via Docker on a system with Debian 11 and OMV 6. Emby works fine on my Shield and Roku, but my experience installing the certificate seems to differ from what I've researched.

@Lukeis suggesting that you place the certificate file in the path that's mapped to /config in the Emby Docker container. Create a directory "ssl" so that you end up with /config/ssl in the container, place the pfx file there and use the /config/ssl/<filename>.pfx in the Emby settings.

The second part is that the file must be readable by the Emby runtime process. Preferably the UID/PUID you're using for the Emby container should own the pfx file and be able to access the /config/ssl directory.

Thank you both. I finally figured a way to do it with the tips  you provided. I used "docker cp [ssl file] CONTAINER:/Emby/config/data" and that copied it to a location I could find from Emby settings.

Yea putting it in the data directory is not required, however it seemed like the easiest way to get you squared away.

I was just happy to get it into a directory where Emby could find it. I tried CONTAINER:/Emby first but it still didn't see it there. Config/data did the job though.
