I’m setting up a jellyfin server, and want to access it on the internet. I created a xxxxxxx.duckdns.org address for it. I have installed caddy with duckdns addon (first installed regular caddy, then overwrote /usr/bin/caddy with this custom caddy). My caddy file is as follows
XXXXXX.duckdns.org:9091 {
reverse_proxy 127.0.0.1:8096
tls {
dns duckdns XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
}
}
Started caddy and here’s my status. Doesn’t show any errors:

However, my reverse proxy doesn’t work. I can’t ping it. Same thing happens when I ping my global ip

I have previously setup dynamic dns successfully on raspberry pi for jellyfin, but unfortunately I didn’t document the steps.
I’m on ATT Fiber with BGW320-505, and have a Deco X5700. Please advise.
Not a solution to your actual problem, but a different way: have you tried using CloudFlare Zero Trust tunnel? With that you don’t need any port forwarding or dynamic DNS and you get some extra protection. You can even add a login with your Google/Microsoft account, without getting to your devices first.
AFAIK they don’t allow passing content through jellyfin, or running a vpn through a tunnel. General web services are fine tho
Yes, you’re right
