Linking Emby Media Server To My Domain

[MClements130 1]

I had to change settings inside of my Windows Firewall in order to allow the ports to be opened. I’m guessing Windows 10 is doing that now to insure security

i'm using Cloudflare. 

 

A few things first. 

1. Do you have a static WAN IP or DHCP?

2. Have you changed your Domain registrars Nameservers to Cloudflare?

3. Are you using NGINX or just want to connect to Emby from external?

 

I do have a guide but its on my web server which is having fibre connection issues.

 

The basics are.

 

1. create an A Record in cloudflare. (something like emby.mydomain.com which points to your WAN IP) make sure it has the orange cloud.

2. on your router port forward 80 and/or 443 -  forward external 80 to internal 8096 and external 443 to internal 8920

3. in emby server > Advanced - change your Public HTTPS to 443 and HTTP to 80

4. download cloudflares origin SSL cert. you should get a domain.crt and a domain.key

5. use this site to convert the crt/pem to a pfx (PKCS#12) https://www.sslshopper.com/ssl-converter.html  make sure you set a password

6. In emby server > Advanced. point the server to the PFX certificate and enter the password.

7. Restart Emby.

 

i think that's about it.

This is wonderful!

Just a clarification that you need to put the pfx file somewhere on the server before selecting the path, and complete the `External domain` field to match the A-record you created.
