So I'm just getting started with selfhosting things, and I have a minor problem which I'm having some trouble solving, as I keep getting a connection refused error when trying to connect:
send() failed (111: Connection refused) while resolving, resolver: 127.0.0.1:53
I run a jellyfin server on a NUC - it works well and is accessible on the private network. I want to have a public URL for this server - and other stuff, eventually.
Here's my setup
I have a subdomain - jellyfin.mydomain.com - pointed to the external IP for my router
I have the router set up to allow remote access, and port forwarding directing all port 80 traffic to my public ip > port 80 on the server
Does your ISP allow you to get external requests on port 80? Mine doesn't...And I figured that the hard way trying to access my jellyfin server. Are you behind CGNAT?
I'd be very careful to publicly host Jellyfin. Although not necessarily true, it basically advertises that you're pirating content while also giving out your IP. Even if you rip your own media, this can still be illegal. Please be careful.
Maybe you can put it behind some authentication or, even better, a VPN.
