I followed YouTube videos and all my domain points to is “server not found.” My domain is through Cloudflare. My server’s ports have been opened at the router.
Proxy Host Settings: Domain name: newly.registered.domain Scheme: http (I’ve tried https too) Forward hostname/IP: local.server.ip.v4 Forward port: jelly_port Access list: Publicly accessible SSL: *.newly.registered.domain
I’d love to share my certificate info, but I don’t see a way to do that…but I set up the DNS thingy with a Cloudflare API token. I remember typing in my server’s public IP here too. Took many tries, but it finally accepted the settings as valid.
So what am I missing to get a reverse proxy? I thought it was supposed to work after all of that.
I’ve been trying to get this going for so long that it just feels like I’m beating my head against the wall until it randomly works, ya know?
See, this just shows how much I need to learn…I thought what I was trying to set up *was *the same thing as a “Cloudflare tunnel.” Honestly, don’t care how it gets implemented, I just assumed this was the easy way because that’s what all the youtubers were suggesting. My end goal here is “I’m on my phone 100 miles away from home, open Jellyfin/Nextcloud/whatever, use domain.actually.works” without needing to disable my Proton/Air/Mullvad connection.
But I’ve followed 4 or 5 “you won’t believe how easy Nginx is” tutorials, and they’re not working for me…
