So I'm just getting started with selfhosting things, and I have a minor problem which I'm having some trouble solving, as I keep getting a connection refused error when trying to connect:
send() failed (111: Connection refused) while resolving, resolver: 127.0.0.1:53
I run a jellyfin server on a NUC - it works well and is accessible on the private network. I want to have a public URL for this server - and other stuff, eventually.
Here's my setup
- I have a subdomain - jellyfin.mydomain.com - pointed to the external IP for my router
- I have the router set up to allow remote access, and port forwarding directing all port 80 traffic to my public ip > port 80 on the server
- On my server - running ubuntu - I installed nginx
- I used the official jellyfin nginx config for access from a subdomain
- I edited the server_name variable to match my subdomain
Now, whenever I access the subdomain in a browser I get a 502 Bad Gateway error. The /var/lof/nginx/error.log
shows:
2024/05/10 08:26:37 [error] 95335#95335: send() failed (111: Connection refused) while resolving, resolver: 127.0.0.1:53

I have almost no experience with networking, linux, or nginx :D So I am sure the problem is obvious to someone else....
Can you help?
Two of my sisters are doing that, and they're lovely kids and will be surrounded by people who love them and will help them grow. So I think that's absolutely fine.
