Can't claim PMS with hostname instead of IP

Plex Media Server Desktops & Laptops

Server Version#: 1.21.1.3795
Player Version#: 4.47.3

Hi, as title says, I can’t claim a server, when accessing it via hostname. If I access it via ip/port it works ok. I’m running it in docker and I’ve setup a reverse proxy (traefik) to access all my services. I don’t even see server in left panel. When I claim it via IP it works ok, however I can’t seem to turn on remote access (I have public IP with port forwarding set up). Logs said something about “Request came in with unrecognized domain” so I tried to remove server and reclaim it again with this host, but got stuck on this. Attached are screenshots how it looks, when I access PMS via hostname VS IP:

Also regarding my primary issue, I tried to turn on remote access, while on IP, but it also didn’t work. I’ve attached logs (File removed)

Does plex.rasp resolve to a WAN address or a LAN address?
Is there a FQDN associated?

PMS can never be claimed from a WAN address or by FQDN.
This is by design for security sake (prevent an unclaimed server from being compromised).

Claiming must be done on the same RFC-1918 LAN or via SSH tunnel to 127.0.0.1

plex.rasp resolves to LAN adress. The same one as I used to claim it. 192.168.2.102

That’s odd.

Is there a certificate on the main DNS resolver host?

What kind of certificate do you have in mind? I just have plex.rasp in my computer’s hosts file.

If you mean on that reverse proxy, then yes, I have my own CA cert with a ssl cert signed by it. But I’ve set it up so it terminates ssl and communicate with plex without ssl

Anyway my main problem is, that I can’t get remote access working. Not sure if it’s ok to address it here, or I should create another post. I just thought this was the reason because of the message I wrote in OP
