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.logshows:
2024/05/10 08:26:37 [error] 95335#95335: send() failed (111: Connection refused) while resolving, resolver: 127.0.0.1:53

2024/05/10 08:27:07 [error] 95335#95335: *69 jellyfin could not be resolved (110: Operation timed out), client: 193.29.107.173, server: jellyfin.mysubdomain.com, request: "GET /web/ HTTP/1.1", host: "jellyfin.mysubdomain.com"
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?

Hello 👋
You need to edit the below lines
set $jellyfin jellyfin; resolver 127.0.0.1 valid=30s;To look like the below
set $jellyfin 127.0.0.1; #resolver 127.0.0.1 valid=30s;Edited after reading the full config
Wonderful, thank you :)
I did see that mentioned in the comments in the file, but I was under the impression that I was using DNS via my simply.com domain DNS-record. Thanks!
