Looking for How to guide on setting up a CDN with Emby..

[chrisputer 0]

I'm trying to find a how to guide on creating a CDN with CloudFlare and Emby. I've found some guides for Plex but I don't know how to make it apply to Emby. I also don't know WTF I'm doing when it comes to NGINX. All the guides seem incomplete and all of my config files for NGINX when it gets installed are empty.

This one will hold your hand pretty nicely.  https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-host-a-website-using-cloudflare-and-nginx-on-ubuntu-16-04

you don't need nginx on your end to use cloudflare.

Try this one: https://blog.awelswynol.co.uk/2018/01/setting-up-cloudflare-with-emby

 

As others have said, you don't need to setup NGINX to use cloudflare.

Awesome and Thank you everyone. Do I need to have 443 and 80 unblocked by my ISP in order for this to work? I'm about to end my contract for a Business Class connection with them (THANK GOD!).

[Swynol 375]

you dont need those ports unblocked but it does make it cleaner and easier.

 

it annoys me when ISPs block those ports. But if your in a business contract then those ports should be unblocked

@Swynol  I would like to suggest in your "how-to" you not use the cloudflare supplied origin certs.  I would suggest you create your own self signed cert online with a fake domain name, since cloudflare will accept any origin cert without errors.      That is if you want your server IP to remain anonymous.  If you use CF Origin certs I bet i can tell you what your server IP is if you pm me your domain name..    

 

@@ebr might be something for you to do so you don't expose your mb3admin ip to a DoS.

would be interesting to know how. 

 

my domain name is linked on here a fair bit but i'll PM it anyway  - i used to use Lets encrypt but i got fed up of renewing them every 80-90 days 80-90days. 

 

DNS history gives very little away as i have a dynamic IP which i change every few days to a week. 

 

There's a few bits i need to change in NGINX which i havent done yet to up the security a little.
