Nginx-Relay not working anymore after Ubuntu/Emby-Update

[petizz 1]

hi everyone,

I'm using an emby-server on an ubuntu-system, which is connected via VPN to an vserver.

The vserver is providing an nginx-webhost which is a relay to the emby-server.

The internal communication over VPN is http, the external communication is HTTPS.

Unfortunately this does not work anymore properly after the last ubuntu-update.

I can login, open the interface and see all videos, i also can go the the settings, but i cannot open any video or change any settings in the admin-interface.

I always get an "bad gateway" error now.

The direct access to emby-server is still working fine.

 

I tried to find something useful in the logs, but their are now clear errors in the emby-log.

 

The nginx-log on the webserver however includes the following error:

I did mask the URL of the external emby-webinterface with ****.****

http://10.8.0.2:8098/emby/System/Configuration?X-Emby-.... is the internal relay-request to the emby-server over the VPN
 

ChatGPT told me that maybe something changed in the protocoll of ubuntu/emby after the updates and this is why the nginx-relay get back faulty responses.



Does someone have an idea how to proceed with the debugging or maybe know whats the reason for this problem?



Thanks in advance & best Regards
Peter

Hi @petizzhave you compared your nginx setup to this?

Hi @Luke:


I just had the time to reinstall the complete relay-server and used the exact configuration in your link.

I don't know what was the cause for the problems, but now it's working again.


Thank you a lot!
