1. Caddy version (caddy version):
v2.2.0 h1:sMUFqTbVIRlmA8NkFnNt9l7s0e+0gw+7GPIrhty905A=
2. How I run Caddy:
I run a JellyFin server with and use caddy server as a reverse proxy to it. Jellyfin and Caddy are on the same Windows 10 box. I have NoIP with a free DNS name to point to my jellyfin/caddy setup. – JellyFin has a baseURL set to my value that is in the caddyfile.
a. System environment:
b. Command:
caddy start
c. Service/unit/compose file:
n/a I don't use docker.
d. My complete Caddyfile or JSON config:
{
email xxxxxxxxxxxxxx@gmail.com
}
melbatoast.hopto.org {
encode gzip
log {
output file C:\caddy\logs\hopto_access.log {
roll true # Rotate logs, enabled by default
roll_size_mb 5 # Set max size 5 MB
roll_gzip true # Whether to compress rolled files
roll_local_time true # Use localhost time
roll_keep 10 # Keep at most 10 log files
roll_keep_days 21 # Keep log files for 21 days
}
}
# this part sets up the reverse proxy for the baseURL that is configured in the JellyFin console
redir /eggplantView /eggplantView/
handle /eggplantView/* {
reverse_proxy localhost:8096
}
# this part sends everything else to a 404 response
handle {
respond "404 - Not Found" 404 {
close
}
}
}
3. The problem I’m having:
Jellyfin has a setting to allow Lan/local network users login using a PIN. I have found that when I use caddy with the config file that I am using, if I am off of my local network and I login using my id/PIN instead of my ID/Password it lets me in like I am on the same network. I have the functionality disabled right now until I find a resolution.
- How do I make sure that caddy is passing the clients remote IP to Jellyfin?
4. Error messages and/or full log output:
5. What I already tried:
I tried google searching, and found reference to this: header_up Host {http.reverse_proxy.upstream.hostport} but I haven’t tried it, because i don’t want to break any security and expose anything. I also found some references to this "It adds or augments the X-Forwarded-For header field.
It sets the X-Forwarded-Proto header field." in the documentation, but I have no idea what it actually does, and I don’t know how to use it in the first place.
6. Links to relevant resources:
Here is a reference to a situation where they mentioned that you need to forward the client’s remote IP to jellyfin.
