Enable ssl

Creating the PFX certificate file first

1. This part assumes you already have SSL certs in PEM format using the Let's Encrypt add on
2. Run this command openssl pkcs12 -export -in fullchain.pem -inkey private_key.pem -passout pass: -out server.pfx
3. Set the permission using chmod 0700 server.pfx

Note: The above command creates a PFX file without a password, you can fill in a password with -passout pass:"your-password" but will also have to provide your-password to Jellyfin's configuration

Automating the PFX certificate

Jellyfin configuration

1. From the sidebar, click on Administration -> Dashboard
2. Under Networking, Server Address Settings, tick Enable HTTPS
3. Under HTTPS Settings, tick Require HTTPS
4. For Custom SSL certificate path:, point it to your PFX file and fill in the Certificate password if required
5. Scroll to the bottom and Save
