Docker / Nginx from outside with my own domain name

Plex Media Server Remote Access
1

Server Version#: 1.31.0.6654
Player Version#: Version 4.87.2

Hi,

I have Plex for a looong time now (10 years this year :scream:) and I managed many issue myself.

Today, I’m blocked and I don’t find how to resolve my issue…

I have:

  • A Plex Media Server running with docker;
  • A domain name;
  • A Nginx server.

Until few months, everything ran smoothy, I was able to access to my media inside my house (LAN) and outside (WAN - 4G/5G) with my own domain. It was not easy as Plex made some security changes, ex. : “Secure connections” had 3 options: I configured the file “Preferences.xml” with secureConnections=“1” in order to Plex works. Now, there only 2 options and my mitigation doesn’t work anymore. In addition, this worked WITHOUT enable “remote connection” in the Plex’ settings.

Today:

If I configured the “remote connection”, it works from outside if I use my public IP address (eg. https://11.22.33.44:32400) but I don’t want to use this option…

Is there anything I need to do to make this work from outside with my own domain name since the security enforcement from Plex?

Thanks!

Check if your “own domain” got reset in the network tab.

Hello @_base04 ! Did you mean “Setting” / “Networks”? I configured the “Custom server access URLs” with my URL. I think this is the only section where my domain appear.

I also have the following configuration on my docker-compose.yml:

Have you checked nginx logs? You don’t need the connection between nginx and plex to be SSL. It could be throwing ssl errors in nginx
