Can anyone explain to me if a headless chrome browser is dangerous the way a regular chrome browser is?
Almost. You want to make sure to keep it as up-to-date as you would a regular Chrome browser. It does almost everything a regular Chrome does, including running arbitrary scripts on websites.
Anyone have experience converting from 1G LAN to 2.5 or even 10?
Going from 1 G to 2.5 G is fairly cheap these days. You can almost certainly use the same cabling, even when you’ve got only Cat.5e cabling. While you can do 10 G over copper, I wouldn’t suggest doing that, since it consumes quite a lot of power compared to both 1 G and 2.5 G. You’d need Cat.6E for reliable 10 G over copper.
I don’t know your exact setup, but you should add the IP that Jellyfin sees when the reverse proxy makes a request. That probably comes from the IP of your Traefik docker container.
Thanks for pointing this out! I probably would have missed this, since I didn’t expect such a change for a patch release.
Their documentation mentions:
For jellyfin to know which reverse proxy is trusted, the IP, Hostname or Subnet has to be set in the Known Proxies (under Admin Dashboard -> Networking) setting.
Does this really mean, that the only way to configure this is through the web UI? This is kind of a problem when deploying it, since without the reverse proxy I can’t reach the Jellyfin server. Is there no way of doing this outside the web UI, via a config file or something?
Edit: Apparently the configuration for the proxies is stored in Jellyfin’s network.xml config file. So it should be possible to do this without manually configuring it via the web UI.
Another edit: It works. Adding <KnownProxies>[proxy ip or hostname]</KnownProxies> in place of the empty <KnownProxies/> key to that config file does the trick.
It’s on April 1st, but nobody takes it seriously.
or a domain with a random string of characters so no one could reasonably guess it? Does it matter?
That does not work. As soon as you get SSL certificates, expect the domain name to be public knowledge, especially with Let’s Encrypt and all other certificate authorities with transparency logs. As a general rule, don’t rely on something to be hidden from others as a security measure.
Oops, you are correct of course, 6A is what I meant, plain 6 should work fine also most of the time, but there is pretty much no point going for that, unless you have that deployed already.
