  • A few things may be going on.

    The errors seem focused on the tls certificate, which caddy tries to automatically provision.

    First, in your caddyfile, “my.server” should reflect the real address used for access. Something like “jellyfin.my-domain.com”. This is important for the tls certificate to be generated correctly.

    Once updated, pull out a cell phone, turn off wifi (use LTE/5G), and verify it can connect to your site. This makes sure you can access from outside your home network.

    Once confirmed working, try again from your home network. Most likely the page will timeout. This will be due to DNS pointing you back to your own network, which can cause trouble. This can be solved several ways. One is by adding a static DNS entry which points to the IP of your caddy server. You can do this on a per system basis in the hosts file, or at the lan level with you DNS server or router, assuming it allows you to add a custom DNS entry. I do this with my Mikrotik router.

    That should get things working internal and external.
