I am trying to set up Nginx as a reverse proxy, so I can set up a wildcard cert to host a few services on my local network. The nginx server is a dedicated server I rent to host several things. I have a ZeroTier VPN setup to allow the nginx server to access a vlan on my local network. The first service I tried to set up with nginx is jellyfin. I got the example config from the jellyfin setup guide. it does not work. after a lot of searching I finally got it to the point where it’s giving me a 504 gateway timeout error. I know this config works because I tested it on my local network using a test VM running nginx, and it works fine. It’s only the dedicated server that is having this issue. Anyone else had this issue?
Config:
server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;
# server_name mydomain.com;
# Uncomment to redirect HTTP to HTTPS
# return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
#}
#server {
# listen 443 ssl http2;
# listen [::]:443 ssl http2;
server_name mydomain.com;
## The default `client_max_body_size` is 1M, this might not be enough for some posters, etc.
client_max_body_size 20M;
# use a variable to store the upstream proxy
# in this example we are using a hostname which is resolved via DNS
# (if you aren't using DNS remove the resolver line and change the variable to point to an IP address e.g `set $jellyfin 127.0.0.1`)
set $jellyfin 10.30.10.14;

I know I should be using ssl. I just want to get it working first before I move on to setting something else up.
