  • Are you able to query to see what IP address that domain returns? Does it return the 192.168.x address that you set?

    Edit: But the idea is to first see where the connection is failing… first see what error your browser is returning? 5xx? 4xx? This can be an indication as to where the error is happening. But high-level check DNS first, see if nslookup or dig return the IP address that you set. (Remember changes to DNS entries can take time to propagate). Assuming all of that is correct, then check to see what nginx is showing in its logs. Do you see it logging anything every time you try and access it via the domain name? Next up is checking the logs from plex itself, does it show any logs coming though? etc… But the idea is to find where the connection is breaking down.



  • If it was a certificate issue I’d expect youd just get an error from your browser saying the cert is invalid or expired.

    If I had to guess though you’re running into a nat reflection issue: https://nordvpn.com/cybersecurity/glossary/nat-loopback/

    Read up on that. But you may need to provide different DNS entries if you’re inside or outside your LAN or add a NAT hairpin rule to your router. But this is only applicable if you’re exposing the same service to the WWW.

    Some other things to try though:

    • Have you tried just pinging the address? Is the DNS resolution returning the address you expect?
    • Whats in your nginx logs? Do you see anything when you try and connect?
    • Within your nginx container can you ping your service directly? Is something blocking nginx from accessing the site?



  • Can you share the Home Assistant automation / setup that you have for Uptime Kuma notifications? As I’m in the same boat as you. I just got a webhook setup but I’m getting flooded with notifications, especially after services update.

    My hope is I just want to be notified when a particular service is down for say 5 minutes but all I care about is knowing the node name. I don’t necessarily care to get notified if the service comes back up.
