Port forwarding 80 and 443 to NPM
Thinking about port forwarding ports 80 and 443 on my router to my home server, where Nginx Proxy Manager will deal with the incoming request.
I've already got a Cloudflare tunnel for some stuff also pointing to NPM, but the tunnel is not working for Jellyfin streaming.
It's so I can expose a service on a nice looking URL I own.
Anything wrong with this?
NPM as in nginx and not Node Package Manager?
When you said Jellyfin streaming isn’t working - are you able to actually get to Jellyfin UI and its the stream failing, or you can’t access Jellyfin at all via nginx?
Nginx Proxy Manager.
Yeah I can see the Jellyfin UI, but the streaming fails, or is blocked by Cloudflare.
It’s not working because it is against Cloudflare’s ToS unfortunately.
First I would ask, do you really have to make Jellyfin publicly accessible?
If yes, are you able to setup a VPN (i.e. Wireguard) and access Jellyfin through that instead?
If you don’t want the VPN route then isolate the NPM and Jellyfin instance from the rest of your server infrastructure and run the setup you described (open ports directly to the NPM instance). That is how most people that don’t want to do Cloudflare are running public access to self hosted services. But first, ask yourself the questions above.
If you mean you're having trouble getting NPM to work with Jellyfin, here's how I got it working:
Make sure you have “Websockets Support” checked.
Then create a custom location "/", with the following in the advanced config:
## The default `client_max_body_size` is 1M, this might not be enough for some posters, etc. client_max_body_size 20M; # Security / XSS Mitigation Headers # NOTE: X-Frame-Options may cause issues with the webOS app add_header X-Frame-Options "SAMEORIGIN"; add_header X-XSS-Protection "0"; # Do NOT enable.

Don't forward 80. In fact it would be best if you forgot 80 exists altogether.
