Error 504 from my hostname. (Recently issue after 1year use)

[thymon 11]

Hello,

Some times I cannot access my server through the url "myhostname.com". And then a few hours later it works again. I have a 504 error with infinity loading

But If I use the url: "myhostname.com:8920" it still works.

I use reverse proxy. I don't think that's the problem. Because I have the emby loading page and the reverse proxy has been in place for a long time without problem. And then the problem disappear and come back without doing anything. And no url problème from app. 

Another strange thing: If I use the local url: http://192.168.10.100:8096/ I have to choose which user to connect with. But in the list there is no admin account ... (maybe unrelated to the previous problem)

Thanks in advance for yours help.

Hi, yes this looks reverse proxy configuration related.

[thymon 11]

I use : Nginx Proxy Manager

I haven't changed the configuration. And why would that be random?

Have you tried looking at @pir8radio's nginx proxy setup?

Sorry, been working on some Burst/Signa mining pool stuff...   been away from emby         yea 504 is reverse proxy related..    make sure your proxy pass is using an IPv4 address if nginx is on the same box as emby use 127.0.0.1         do not use "localhost" it will pick the internal ipv6 address at times which causes intermittent issues..    Thats the first thing that comes to mind..    if you want to share your config...    Also your setup info..      so you have port 80 and 443 ( i assume) open on your firewall, pointing to nginx.  as well as 8920 pointing to emby..   and domain/port works, but domain---nginx---emby does not?

So, you figure it out?

hello @pir8radio

Thanks for your interest.

I don't understand why I have this issue. I use Nginx Proxy Manager for 28 others proxy hosts without issue.

I have this randomly issue since I changed the Emby Container Docker. From binhex/arch-emby to linuxserver/emby. (No GPU transcoding with Binhex  )

Now my url works well. But tomorrow perhaps not...

the proxy manager only enters a generic configuration that works with most sites..  Emby sometimes requires different headers to be passed.     Try changing your proxy from connecting to emby using HTTPS to HTTP (update port too)  you do not need https from proxy to emby if its on your local network, it can cause slowdowns and strange issues like this if you do not have your headers setup correctly.  and since you are using a proxy manager i would suggest using HTTP to the emby server from proxy.     HTTPS to your proxy from the internet is fine.

it looks better since i unchecked "cache Asset" & "Block Common Explots"
