Using custom domain for plex/web access

General Discussions
1

I’m very new at this so please bear with me.


Basically, I have a custom domain through GoDaddy. What I want is to be able to access 123.12.123.12:20280/web/index.html at mydomain.com. And as I browse, I want it to change accordingly; i.e. mydomain.com/web/index2.html, mydomain.com/web/index3.html, etc…


How do I set this up? I use a Mac Mini. Which program should I install? Nginx? Apache

I was able to get mydomain.com/web to load Plex. If anyone needs help, let me know. 

However, when I visit mydomain.com, it gives me a 401 unauthorized error. How can I make mydomain.com redirect to or load mydomain.com/web?

I would love to do this as well. Anyone willing to help?

I think i recall Plex disabling this option a while back because of PlexPass and myPlex.

However, i use a domain for remote connection to Plex. The URL is something like this http://www.[youraddress].com:[port]/web/.

You can also log on to myPlex > click on "Servers" > Click on your server name > and then "Plex/Web (NEW!)". Replace your IP with your domain and you should be good to go.

If you are hosting through godaddy, just drop a file titled: ".htaccess" in the root directory and then put the following in it: 

RewriteEngine On 

RewriteRule ^/web(.*?)/?$ $1

That is, if you've gotten mydomain.net/web to work. 

If you are still working on mydomain.net:32400/web, you will have to likely setup a proxy, which won't be allowed on your godaddy plan, but can be accomplished through the use of an external vps. I run server.norcrossdd.com/plex/web using this method, and it's nice.
