I'm trying to set up a Jellyfin server, with a reverse proxy so I can access it via external networks. I can't get the reverse proxy to work no matter what I try! Tried caddy, nginx, and apache2. My system is Ubuntu 22.04 arm64. Would anyone be willing to give me a pointer or even help me set it up? Could totally compensate for the effort haha.

How exactly do you plan to use a reverse proxy without a domain name? By it's very nature, a reverse proxy by default works with a domain/subdomain name.

I'd suggest you look up some docs/tutorials about DNS, Web server, Reverse Proxy etc. Looks like you got no clue on what you're doing.

Yes. I have a .us domain, and I have a domain with DuckDNS but I wasn't able to get those working either. I just meant if possible I'd like to be able to still connect in the browser via ip instead of having to use the domain.

Is your public ip dynamic or static? Does your domain point to your proper public ip? Do you have ports 80 and/or 443 open to the public? Does your reverse proxy listen to your publicip:80 and 443? Is your connection under a CGNAT?

You leave a lot of questions unanswered. Just stating 'it doesn't work' doesn't help to troubleshoot.
