Help with NGINX? so close... (feddit.nl)

Hi friends. I'm new to the whole homeserver. I managed to make a ton of progress very quickly using CasaOS but I've been hung up on this for a couple of days now.

I have Jellyfin set up and working properly, locally. I configured Namecheap to forward requests from [subdomain] to [WAN]. I have my router set up to port forward requests from [WAN] 80 and 443 to NGINX on [LAN] port 81. I created a proxy host in NGINX to forward requests from [subdomain] to [LAN Server] on [LAN] port 8097 (Jellyfin container).

Problem is when I type in [subdomain] into the browser, it takes me to the NGINX login page instead of the Jellyfin server...like it's not forwarding the request? Not really sure what I'm doing wrong here. Any help is appreciated.

Potential issue I see is that Jellyfin by default fires up on port 8097 but in the settings defaults HTTP to 8096 and...I'm not really sure why. Going to 8096 returns a "site can't be reached" error.

I don't fully understand what you're saying, but let's break this down.

Since you say you get an NGINX page, what does your NGINX config look like? What exactly does the NGINX "login page" say? Is it an error or is it a directory listing or something else?

Can you elaborate? I don't know how to explain beyond what's in the OP:

I created a proxy host in NGINX to forward requests from [subdomain] to [LAN Server] on [LAN] port 8097 (Jellyfin container).

What exactly does the NGINX "login page" say?

It says NGINX and has texts fields for email and password
