No awards are needed, just wanted to share my excitement that while my Jellyfin server still keeps loosing my entire library every 24 hours at least now it has a domain and ssl cert!

That is all. Happy Friday everyone

    Ya got three options.

    Option A is to create your own certificate that is self-signed. You will then have to load the certificate into any client you want to use. Easier than people realize, just a couple terminal commands. Give this a go if you want to learn how they work.

    Option B is to generate a certificate with Let’s Encrypt via an application like certbot. I suggest you use a DNS challenge to create a wildcard certificate.

    Option C is to buy a certificate from your DNS provider aka something like cloudflare.

    IMO the best is Option B. Takes a bit to figure it out but its free and rotates automatically which I like.

    I like helping and fixing stuff, if you’d like to know anything just ask :D

      None of these are client certificates btw. These are just ways to have your server use TLS encryption with any client that connects but it offers no authorization. If you want authorization with client certificates you need to implement mTLS (Mutual TLS).

        Oooo ya know I actually don’t know about these. I’ve done both A and B for my homelab and C for work.

        Any good resources / insight into mTLS? I appreciate the response btw!

              Yes it’s a forum. But just because I corrected your error doesn’t mean I am obligated to do a whole fucking write up for you or go to google myself for you. Grow up.
