Well, I can tell you trying to use the Xbox controllers I have on Linux, with Bluetooth was a nightmare until their firmware was updated.

I have to admit, I’m a bit confused.

I have dns records already in my domain provider pointing to a tailscale ip

I want to know what I have to do to get minecraft.example.com to resolve interenally.

Since your domain resolves to an internal private Tailscale IP and your question is how to access using the domain, locally…. I feel like there’s an error in your architecture here. Wouldn’t any device that is on your Tailscale private network already have access using the domain name? If by “resolve internally” you mean hosts on your LAN, not connected to Tailscale scale? How would that be possible if it resolves to a Tailscale IP. If you have control of your DNS on your LAN, you could simply add an override and point it to the LAN address of the Minecraft server.

it’d be nice to be able to use a domain instead.

If your looking to access it outside your LAN, you’re gonna want to open up the correct ports on your router’s firewall.

How annoying is it to connect to VPN/use Tailscale

I think it’s very important to separate a random “VPN” solution to using Tailscale.

instead of being able to access the service directly?

Focusing on Tailscale. Who turns off Tailscale? It is “directly” connecting to your service or app or whatever. That’s the whole point.

Yep, that was my point directed @catloaf@lemm.ee .

I’m guessing your comment is based on using an OS already installed on it? Doubtful a self hosted user would ever do that.

Gittea and Forgejo both have self hosted container registries.

Reinstall with Debian.

We all do what we can. For example my calendar is self hosted and managed personally. Apple is simply a client using Caldav.

Wow. What a zinger? No really, great addition to the discussion. Thank you.

No, probably not. Love em or hate them, they have a pretty good record on privacy going back decades.

Google though. lol. I mean that’s THE largest advertisement company to ever exist. The same company who finally admitted they were selling their browser’s incognito data.

That 3rd party app with the better widget calendar is for sure selling.

If it’s accessible using primary IP on the main system , firewall is set or completely disabled and both client and server are on the same network, then I’m not sure. Unless there’s some kinda of network setting mismatch on the laptop or a configuration in Jellyfin not allowing connections outside the host , then I’m not sure. We did cover the basics, so I’m sorry it’s not working.

Ok. So you’re definitely not trying to use 127.0.0.1 remotely.

So on your phone’s web browser ( using the same WiFi ) if you visit http://<ip of mint system>:8096 and nothing happens then it’s the firewall on the mint system. You would need to allow ports 8096/8097.

I’ve never used Linux mint, but if it’s Debian based then it might be using UFW firewall.

First, check that if firewall is running. Open a terminal and type:

sudo ufw status

Step 2: Open ports 8096 and 8097

To allow traffic through ports 8096 and 8097, use the following commands:

sudo ufw allow 8096/tcp
sudo ufw allow 8097/tcp

This opens both ports for TCP traffic. If you also want to open the ports for UDP traffic, you can use:

sudo ufw allow 8096/udp
sudo ufw allow 8097/udp

Step 3: Verify the rules

Once you’ve added the rules, you can check the firewall status to verify the changes:

sudo ufw status

You should see entries for ports 8096 and 8097 allowing TCP (and/or UDP) traffic.

Step 4: Reload firewall (if necessary)

If the changes do not take effect immediately, you may reload the firewall using:

sudo ufw reload

Now, the firewall should allow traffic through ports 8096 and 8097.

Ok. What address are you using when trying access the server on your phone or Jellyfin client?

Edit: An address like this http://127.0.0.1:8096 or this http://<ip address of Linux mint system>:8096/

How? Like http://<ip of mint>:8096 in a web browser? On the same system running the server or is this a separate computer?

How do you know the server is worker fine? How are you accessing it to know that?

E:

Do you have a firewall running on your mint installation? If so have you allowed the ports (8096/8097)

Can you access the web client on the Mint installation http://<ip of mint>:8096

Can you use that same address on your phone / another computer to access it?

FYI If you’re using 127.0.0.1 that will not work on your phone or any client that’s not running the Jellyfin server.

When you use the Jellyfin app which server address are you putting in?

If you’re using invidious and have the web client, iOS or android client like Yattee… wouldn’t your default feed essentially be a playlist of all new videos?

It seems that the commenter’s intention was clear to everyone except you. The commenter acknowledged the need for RAID software or a specific file system, mentioning that it had already been addressed. Understood the budget and OP being an newb.

Although their tone may have been blunt, they stayed focused on their original point.

But you just kept nagging. lol

Either way OP was helped and now you can sleep knowing you did your part. A true internet hero.

I’m not running iOS18 beta. I don’t have an app called Feedback. ???

And for the record, the specific calendar widget the user posted from iOS 18 looks exactly the same as the one in iOS 17.

This whole thread is pointless.
