Emby Server on DigitalOcean


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi all,

 

I'm a bit of a newbie when it comes to Linux and running a server on DigitalOcean. I created a droplet with Ubuntu 14.04, successfully installed and started the Emby Server on the droplet. Awesome!

The next part I'm having trouble with is accessing the server in my browser and starting the startup wizard.

The droplet has an IP address, I try putting that in the URL bar in my browser, and I'm refused the connection.

I created a separate droplet with an install of Wordpress and was able to connect to that one's IP address in my browser just fine.

Am I missing a step or something? Any help on this would be much appreciated!  :)

You did try to connect to the public IP didn't you? It won't be 192.168.*.*.

Yep! I'm attempting to connect to 159.203.***.***

It's the same IP address I use when connecting to the server with PuTTY. Is that the correct one to use?

Yup. You also need to include the port number so it will be 159.203.*.*:8096

Ahh, I added the port number at the end and it successfully connected. Derp.

Thanks for your help!  :lol:
