Comment on HTTPS with FreeDNS
MangoPenguin@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 months ago
Lets Encrypt should be fine issuing a cert on a FreeDNS hostname using the HTTP-01 challenge, I believe you may also need port 80 open?
The basic steps would be install a letsencrypt client on the NAS, issue a cert for the FreeDNS hostname, then give that cert to jellyfin directly or to a reverse proxy sitting in front of it.

I do have port 80 open as well as 443, both going to my Jellyfin HTTP/HTTPS ports respectively. HTTP seems to work for both when I access “pretty” domain and the FreeDNS URLs directly. It’s really only when I try to force HTTPS that I’m having issues.
I’ll play around with Let’s Encrypt today to see if I can get the FreeDNS cert applied. I’ve tried to use AI to assist me in learning how to do all this, it suggests I need both my “pretty” domain and the FreDNS domain tied to the same Cert, which Im unable to do at my current domain registrar, so I might also need to move that but I’ll take it one step at a time.
