No awards are needed, just wanted to share my excitement that while my Jellyfin server still keeps loosing my entire library every 24 hours at least now it has a domain and ssl cert!

That is all. Happy Friday everyone

      Ya got three options.

      Option A is to create your own certificate that is self-signed. You will then have to load the certificate into any client you want to use. Easier than people realize, just a couple terminal commands. Give this a go if you want to learn how they work.

      Option B is to generate a certificate with Let’s Encrypt via an application like certbot. I suggest you use a DNS challenge to create a wildcard certificate.

      Option C is to buy a certificate from your DNS provider aka something like cloudflare.

      IMO the best is Option B. Takes a bit to figure it out but its free and rotates automatically which I like.

      I like helping and fixing stuff, if you’d like to know anything just ask :D

          Oooo ya know I actually don’t know about these. I’ve done both A and B for my homelab and C for work.

          Any good resources / insight into mTLS? I appreciate the response btw!

              Ahhh interesting video! I appreciate the post. I see the mTLS is more about authenticating who the client is outside the application.

              Don’t worry, Im not just exposing thing willy nilly 🤣 For client-side authentication I use Authentik combined with 2FA, Duo, and fail2ban. Authentik provides identity management through LDAP to jellyfin and any sign in request goes to MFA and you get a Duo notification to approve. You can do other MFA, i just havent set it up.

              Ive got a lot of family who use my server. Asking them to install a TSL cert on every machine would be impossible. My method also monitors all sign in requests. Setting up Authentik was a hugggeee game changer for me.

        That is for server side certs not client side. I’m talking about Mutual TLS.

        Setting up https is not going to stop bots. All it does is prevent man in the middle attacks. You want to limit who and what can access Jellyfin so that you don’t end up being a victim of an automated exploit.
