Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

I can access jellyfin on my server with my MacBook and AppleTV but my phone can’t log in, not with the webUI or with 3rd party apps. The logs says the log in attempts are successful though.

That, or your phone is using an overridden DNS server and not your local DNS resolver while on your own network. Common with Android specifically.

I am on iPhone here. I do have the iCloud relay turned on but that doesn’t work on VPNs or local IP addresses.

You will not be able to access Jellyfin with Apple relay turned on unless you open ports on your router to access Jellyfin from outside of your house. That’s true even if your in you own home WiFi.

When they were talking about a vpn, they meant that you would be connected to your own vpn server in your home and that Jellyfin is connected to the same vpn.

icloud relay doesn't affect this because it shuts off when my VPN activates and when at home, icloud relay doesnt affect local LAN IP addresses anyway.
