Quickset Jellyfin Port Mapping

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

Hello

Very green and new user to mikrotiks routers, so bare with me.

Basically I am trying to setup a jellyfin server that I would like to access remotely, I have setup a DDNS DUC client and have confirmed that the hostname resolves correctly, so that is good! I am still however not getting any lucky with getting my jellyfin server to respond.

What I have done is the following:

  1. I have bound the internal IP of my jellyfin server my clicking make static
  2. I have setup the quickset portmapping according to the documentation here. https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/networking/

    This works fine when connecting directly to the server via my LAN (Btw only wired, no wireless)

    But fails spectacularly when trying to access it via the ddns hostname
    connect via DDNS.png
    What am I missing?

Thanks for your time!

Quick Question:
When accessing via the ddns hostname, did you use the port? :smiley:

Also, do you have a public IPv4?

yes and yes :slight_smile:

Resolved

The issue came from a port conflict due to an incorrect configuration that resulted in 2 jellyfin server instances one of which was set to not reject remote calls.

Once I figured out that the port mapping worked the rest was easy to fix!
