Using the android client app and I tried to connect to my new server (first time setup). When I tap “Choose server” I can see the server name and local IP (192.168.0.5). When I tap on it, it won’t connect. What am I probably doing wrong?
Edit: the app uses a default address, although it identifies the name of the server I set up. I checked the WiFi settings on the machine and the server is 192.168.1.60. I used this and it worked immediately.
Thanks for the help! I was able to eliminate some things, and learned some important things.
Yes, the app automatically checks the default ports as well.
The browser just loads indefinitely.
It is connected to the same WiFi, syncthing is also connected and working between server and phone. It does detect the server from the phone and shows it by name. I set it up on the server as a docker container if that matters.
Hmm, have you made any changes to the firewall on the system hosting the Docker container?
You might need to edit the firewall with a something like this:
sudo ufw allow from 192.168.1.0/24 to any port 8096Are you using docker-compose to run the Jellyfin service? If so, you might need to add something like this to the docker-compose.yml file:
network_mode: 'host' extra_hosts: - "host.docker.internal:host-gateway"I’m no expert at Docker or UFW, but these are part of my Jellyfin setup, which I’m running on Ubuntu LTS in a Docker container.
Hm, I tried both of these. Still no luck. Thanks!
