Hi, firstly i'm sorry, i'm clueless about everything but i've tried for a long time and i can't understand anything.

So a year ago i buyed a doman name, i thought it was the only thing needed to be able to protect my media server and have ssl.

But well it doesn't work, i've tried everything, someone on cloudflare told me i need to have a domain that works with https.

So i buyed a hosting plan thinking that maybe that would be it. Well great the hosting plan does have a domain that works with https. But now i don't know what to do and how to have my domain direct to my emby server and not the "site in construction page".

I feel like i already threw away a few bucks for nothing so if someone could help me and explain to me what the f***k am i supposed to do to have a protected media server.

But now i don't know what to do and how to have my domain direct to my emby server and not the "site in construction page".

Hi,

Move **/www/index.html** onto **/www/index_ovh.html**

i'm sorry but how do i do that?


i'm sorry but how do i do that?

With tool FTP FILEZILLA.

Extract of my User Guide (in French) :

See chapter --> **E - WordPress - Mise en place du logiciel FILEZILLA :**

So i connected into the server in ftp and in the folder "www" there is nothing except a shortcut of a folder called "index.html"

But i don't see how i'm going to host emby doing that.

Move this shortcut

i moved it, now what?

Domain ?

I need the domain you bought like xxx.com

marocflix.ovh

It's ok for me.

Cleaning cache

for me it doesn't go anywhere, it just goes on the cloudflare page with error 522

Edit: now it's working my bad. But i think it's working because at the time i changed the dns records to direct the link on my ip

Thx for you help but i have another question now, how do i use the hosting domain i bought and use the ssl?

Read my user guide

Yeah sorry, i already asked a lot, thx for you help man

it's not working anymore, my domain name is leading to the same page as the hosting plan domain

and marocflix.ovh. is leading to "site not installed" page

I've tried to follow your guide but it's not working for me.

@Gaston_Phone
EDIT :
I've read your comment i'll change the ip in the dns zone.

I don't know why but the ovh website is telling me that i can't send new comments on the forum for 12 hours

EDIT2:
I've changed the ip in the dns zone like you asked and now i access my emby with marocflix.ovh. but not marocflix.ovh and https is still leading nowhere, the site can't be reached

@janus57 : since i can't make new comments, i'll answer here,
Emby is installed on my windows personal pc. And is hosted on my windows machine. People can access it through my wan ip.

I just don't understand what's happening, it work for awhile but everytime after a few hour the domain just lead back to the index page or the site not installed page

I just want to have a domain name that is protected with ssl. That's it. I've tried everything and nothing is working.

@janus57 how do i get https then? i've tried with cloudflare and it didnt work

In
They must have the same IP :

Hello,

first thing, where your website should be hosted ?
At OVH ?
At emby ?

well so forget everything about changing the IP with the OVH IP (Gaston_Phone has not understand your issue), and delete the OVH IP from your DNS zone and [u]keep ONLY your WAN IP[/u].

If your websited is hosted on your PC with emby your domain should point at your IP and you have buy OVH hosting for nothing.

Plus the only way to get HTTPS is to configure your emby software, this has nothing to do with OVH.

**EDIT2 :**

@RedaA you should ask this on "emby" community, i don't know this software and/or how to configure this (moreover on windows).

Cordialement, janus57

Emby and nginx proxy manager are configured and running via docker. Emby web interface is reachable via Emby.[mydomain.com] but the mobile app can’t connect.
Have you managed to solve ?

on the emby forum they are fucking retarded. I've asked for month no clear answer.

I have another issue, i have cancelled my hosting plan. But since before i can only access my emby through marocflix.ovh. and not marocflix.ovh
i don't know why, if you could help with that

Hello,


But since before i can only access my emby through marocflix.ovh. and not marocflix.ovh

hum, it's the same domain, and don't have entry in DNS Zone (CloudFlare DNS Server declared).

Cordialement, janus57

what dns zone do i need exactly in ovh and cloudflare? I haven't changed anything since yesterday and now the link doesn't work

Hello,


I haven't changed anything since yesterday

not true, you have changed the DNS server from dns113.ovh.net/ns113.ovh.net

So now you need to replicate your DNS zone from OVH to CloudFlare.

Cordialement, janus57






Are they correct or do i need to change something?

okay it's working, i'm finally able to reach my emby with https, but i get this. I've installed ssl certificate on emby but it's not working

Hello,

you have an issue with your computer or your local network, the certificat is valid.

Cf: https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=marocflix.ovh&s=172.67.212.254&latest

Cordially, janus57

how do i know what's wrong? Is there a way to troubleshoot it?
the cert tells me that


Do i have to install the certificate on my pc?

Hello,

it's seem that you have installed cloudflare origin certtificat on your software, and this you have access with your LAN it's present the origin certificat.

To have a "trusted" certificat you need to access your software through cloudflare network.

Cordialement, janus57

But i need to install it on the software, it's even asking for it. And on cloudflare the ssl encryption is full

Hello,


But i need to install it on the software, it's even asking for it. And on cloudflare the ssl encryption is full

not needed, a self-signed work for that, but it's the same issue => not trusted by the broowser since you have access locally

So to resume, just ignore the warning or use let's encrypt certificate.

Cordialement, janus57

but if i don't install the certificate on emby, i can't save the https option and can't access it through https.

But is the site secured? That's all i care about.

Even if the browser don't trust it the site will be secured by cloudflare right? If it is secured, i'll let it like that

Hello,


But is the site secured?

yes if you consider juste the https part.

Cordially, janus57

okay thanks man, sorry for all the question

I found the solution,

www.marocflix.ovh is secured but not marocflix.ovh, i don't know why, but it's working
