QNAP T-133 QTS 5.2.10+ Porkbun DDNS 2026

Monday at 09:56 AM

Emby SSL on QNAP QTS Using Porkbun, Let's Encrypt, and AI-Generated Scripts

Goal

Configure secure remote access to Emby over HTTPS using an SSL certificate, with a residential internet connection where the public IP address changes frequently.

The setup uses:

Domain and DNS: A domain such as yourdomainname.top, registered with Porkbun.
Dynamic DNS (DDNS): Porkbun's API to update DNS records when your public IP address changes.
SSL certificate: A free Let's Encrypt certificate obtained using DNS-01 validation.
Certificate format: PKCS#12 (.pfx), compatible with Emby Server.
Automation: Shell scripts to update DNS records, obtain and renew the SSL certificate, and update Emby's certificate configuration using its API.

The scripts are generated with the assistance of an AI of your choice and adapted to work with your particular NAS and setup.

Requirements

1. Porkbun account

A Porkbun account with a valid payment method (PayPal, credit card, etc.).
A registered domain name.
An API key and secret API key, with access restricted to the domain where possible.

At the time of writing, .top domains are an inexpensive option. The prices I found were approximately US$1.63 for the first year, with renewals at US$4.63 per year. Three years would cost approximately US$10.27 at those prices. Check the current pricing before registering, as domain prices can change.

Website: https://porkbun.com/

2. QNAP NAS

QNAP NAS running QTS.
My setup uses a QNAP TS-133 running QTS 5.2.10 or later.
SSH access to the NAS.

I connected to the NAS shell from Windows using PowerShell and SSH. You can use any SSH client you prefer.

Example:

ssh adminuser@qnapnashostnameorip

The scripts may require administrative privileges, depending on your QTS configuration and the operations being performed. A regular user account may not have sufficient permissions.

3. Emby Server

Emby Server must already be installed and configured on the NAS.
I used the native QPKG installation rather than Docker, as I wanted to keep the setup as lightweight as possible on my NAS.
I used the ARMv8 package listed for the TS-x28 and TS-x32 series. https://emby.media/qnap-server.html

Configuration Variables

The scripts use the following variables. Replace the empty values with your own details where required.

DOMAIN=""                 # The domain registered with Porkbun
PORKBUN_API_KEY=""        # Your Porkbun API key
PORKBUN_SECRET_API_KEY="" # Your Porkbun secret API key
PFX_PASSWORD=""           # Password used to protect the .pfx file
EMBY_API_KEY=""           # Your Emby API key

Important: Keep your API keys and certificate password private. Do not publish scripts containing your actual credentials on the forums.

Steps

1. Register a domain and configure Porkbun

Register an inexpensive domain at Porkbun. A .top domain is one option, although you can choose another extension if you find a better price.

Generate a Porkbun API key and secret API key. Restrict API access to the domain you intend to use, where supported.

2. Check the required dependencies

The first script checks whether the NAS has the commands and tools required by the subsequent scripts.

This helps identify missing dependencies before attempting to configure DDNS or install the SSL certificate.

This script checks for required and optional commands, verifies that persistent storage is available, checks free disk space, and tests whether the existing acme.sh client can run.

Usage: Copy and paste the entire block into your QNAP SSH shell.

SCRIPT

chmod 700 /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/porkbun_ddns_dependency_check.sh &&
/share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/porkbun_ddns_dependency_check.sh

Expected result: The script reports which dependencies are present or missing, displays storage usage, checks the ACME client, and prints a final warning/error summary.

3. Configure Dynamic DNS (DDNS)

The next script creates a DDNS updater that uses the Porkbun API to update your domain's DNS A record when your public IPv4 address changes.

Porkbun's API can also be used to manage AAAA records for IPv6, if required. You can ask your AI assistant to modify the script to support this.

An A record maps a domain name to an IPv4 address. An AAAA record maps a domain name to an IPv6 address.

This shell script checks your public IPv4 address and updates the root-domain DNS A record through the Porkbun API when the address changes.

Before running the script, configure these three variables:

DOMAIN — your registered domain name.
PORKBUN_API_KEY — your Porkbun API key.
PORKBUN_API_SECRET — your Porkbun secret API key.

Usage: Copy and paste the entire block into your QNAP SSH shell.

SCRIPT

# Set permissions and run the script
chmod 700 /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/porkbun-ddns.sh &&
/share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/porkbun-ddns.sh

4. Install the SSL certificate

The next script obtains a free SSL/TLS certificate from Let's Encrypt using DNS-01 validation through Porkbun's API.

The certificate and private key are packaged into a password-protected PKCS#12 (.pfx) file for use with Emby Server.

DNS-01 validation is particularly useful when the server is behind a residential internet connection, as it does not require Let's Encrypt to connect directly to the NAS over HTTP.

This script installs acme.sh if it is not already installed, obtains a free Let's Encrypt certificate using Porkbun DNS-01 validation, and exports the certificate and private key into a password-protected PKCS#12 (.pfx) file for Emby Server.

Configuration required:

PORKBUN_API_KEY, PORKBUN_SECRET_API_KEY, PFX_PASSWORD, DOMAIN

echo "/share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/setup-emby-ssl.sh"

Important: This script obtains and exports the certificate, but it does not configure Emby automatically or set up renewal scheduling. Those steps must be completed separately.

5. Configure Emby to use the `.pfx` certificate

Configure Emby Server to use the generated .pfx file and its password.

Restart Emby if required, then test HTTPS access from another device. Test from outside your home network as well to confirm that remote access works.

6. Automate SSL certificate renewal

The final script automates certificate renewal and updates Emby's certificate configuration using the Emby API.

A cron job is configured on the NAS to run the renewal script periodically, so the certificate can be renewed without manual intervention.

The renewal process should also handle updating Emby with the renewed certificate and reloading or restarting Emby as necessary.

Configuration required: Porkbun API key, Porkbun secret API key, PFX password, Emby API key, and domain name.

Usage: Copy and paste the entire block into your QNAP SSH shell.

Usage

Manual renewal: /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/renew-emby-ssl.sh
Scheduled check: /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/renew-emby-ssl.sh --scheduled

The scheduled check skips renewal until 85 days have elapsed since the last successful run. The manual command forces renewal.

Security: Keep your API keys and PFX password private. Do not post real credentials or unredacted logs on the forum.

Note: These instructions describe my setup. Paths, package compatibility, permissions, and service-restart requirements may differ between QNAP models and QTS versions. Test each stage before relying on the automation.
