It sounds like you're having trouble setting up a reverse proxy for Jellyfin on your Asustor NAS, even though other services like Photoprism and Home Assistant are working fine. Here are a few things you can check to get Jellyfin working with the reverse proxy:

Port Configuration: Make sure that Jellyfin is configured to listen on the correct port. By default, Jellyfin uses port 8096 for HTTP and 8920 for HTTPS. Check if these ports are properly forwarded and match your reverse proxy settings.

Reverse Proxy Settings: In your Asustor NAS settings, make sure that the reverse proxy rule is pointing to the correct local IP and port for Jellyfin. The rule should forward requests from your public domain (e.g., https://yourdomain.com/jellyfin) to the internal address http://<NAS-IP>:8096.

SSL/TLS Settings: If you're using SSL (HTTPS), ensure that you've properly configured SSL certificates for Jellyfin. You may need to create a new SSL certificate for your reverse proxy and bind it to the Jellyfin port. Make sure to enable SSL for Jellyfin in the reverse proxy settings.

Jellyfin Configuration: Sometimes, Jellyfin needs to know the external URL it's being accessed from. You can set this up in Jellyfin by going to the admin dashboard, selecting Networking, and configuring the Public HTTP Port and Public HTTPS Port settings to reflect the reverse proxy configuration.

Firewall/Port Blocking: Double-check that there are no firewall rules or port blocking preventing the reverse proxy from functioning. This could be on either your NAS or your router/firewall.

Logs and Errors: Check the Jellyfin logs for any specific errors when attempting to access it through the reverse proxy. This can often point you to any misconfigurations in the setup.

Web Access Settings: In Jellyfin's Admin Dashboard, under Networking, ensure that the Base URL is set correctly if you are accessing Jellyfin with a subdirectory (e.g., https://yourdomain.com/jellyfin). This helps Jellyfin generate correct links when accessed via reverse proxy.
