Emby Android App and reverse proxy

[xsnipuhx 4]

Good morning and Merry Christmas.

 

While my kids are down, I wanted to continue to work on this. I got a reverse proxy setup using Caddy successfully. I have successfully added airsonic, sonarr, and other things to my proxy, but for some reason, Emby is only half playing along with it.

 

When access embyXXX.ddns.net through a browser. I have 100% success rate. Can login just fine from my phone and work computer.

 

Now when trying to setup the server in the emby android application, I get nothing but login errors. I enter embyXXX.ddns.net as the host name/address and delete the port number. It would bring me to the login screen, but every time I try to login, I get invalid username/password. It doesn't even register a failed login attempt on the alerts.

 

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong here?

Hi there, have you compared your reverse proxy configuration to @@pir8radio's ?

I see his is for nginx. I could never get that to work, and I'm honestly surprised I got Caddy to work. This is my config for the proxy:

embyXXX.ddns.net {
    gzip
    log C:\caddy\logs\emby_access.log {
        rotate_size 5          # Rotate after 5 MB
        rotate_age  7          # Keep log files for 7 days
        rotate_keep 2          # Keep at most 2 log files
        rotate_compress     
    }
    errors C:\caddy\logs\emby_error.log {
        rotate_size 5          # Set max size 5 MB
        rotate_age  7          # Keep log files for 7 days
        rotate_keep 2          # Keep at most 2 log files
        rotate_compress
    }
    proxy / localhost:8096 {         
        websocket
        transparent
    }
}

I'm just going to guess that the login problem is either due to it altering the post method to login, or not preserving http request headers.

I got it figured out. Turns out I wasn't adding https:// in front of the address. Problem solved. I honestly can't believe I didn't think of that.

Thanks for the feedback.
