Comment on LDAP to UNIX user proxy
kevincox@lemmy.ml 2 months agoI do use a reverse proxy but for various reasons you can’t just block off some apps. For example if you want to play Jellyfin on a Chromecast or similar, or PhotoPrism if you want to use sharing links. Unfortunately these systems are designed around the built-in auth and you can’t just slap a proxy in front.
I do use nginx with basic with in front of services where I can. I trust nginx much more than 10 different services with varying quality levels. But unfortunately not all services play well.

Never found a service that don’t work with nginx reverse proxy.
My jelly fin does.
Don’t run photoprims tough…

Are you doing auth in the reverse proxy for Jellyfin? Do you use Chromecast or any non-web interface? If so I’m very interested how you got it to work.

This is my jellyfin nginx setup: wiki.gardiol.org/doku.php?id=services:jellyfin#re…
currently i don’t use any proxy related authentication because i need to find the time to work with the plugins in Jellyfin. I don’t have any chromecast, but i do regularly use the Android Jellyfin app just fine.
I expect, using the OIDC plugin in jellyfin, that Jellyfin will still manage the login via Authelia itself, so i do not expect much changes in NGINX config (except, maybe, adding the endpoints).

Ah ok. You aren’t doing auth. So sort of irrelevant to the whole discussion.
