SSL Certs With NGINX (lemmy.world)

submitted 3 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

10 comments fedilink hide all child comments

I recently generated a self-signed cert to use with NGINX via it's GUI.

Generate cert and key
Upload these via the GUI
Apply to each Proxy Host

Now when I visit my internal sites (eg, jellyfin.home) I get a warning (because this cert is not signed by a trusted CA) but the connection is https.

My question is, does this mean that my connection is fully encrypted from my client (eg my laptop) to my server hosting Jellyfin? I understand that when I go to jellyfin.home, my PiHole resolves this to NGINX, then NGINX completes the connection to the IP:port it has configured and uses the cert it has assigned to this proxy host, but the Jellyfin server itself does not have any certs installed on it.

Is Jellyfin running on the same host as nginx? Then, yes your connection to jellyfin is encrypted.

They’re both different VMs on different VLANs running on the same Proxmox host
