unRaid Subsonic HTTPS duckdns subdomain setup [SOLVED]

[rutherford]

I'd been wrestling with this for a little while, and finally got my ducks in a row. Using this setup, you can create a free subdomain, subsonic.yourhouse.com, that will point to subsonic running on your unraid installation.

 

Create account at duckdns.org, make a note of the SUBDOMAIN that you have to add. I'll use duckdnssubdomain.

 

Install duckdns docker, and setup with duckdnssubdomain, and token

 

Install subsonic docker, and setup:

Set both Host Port 2 and Key 2 to 4433

 

 

Go into Subsonic > Settings > Network > check Access your server over the internet.... > check Use custom URL, "https://subsonic.yourdomain.com:4433"

 

Add godaddy DNS CNAME. Name: subsonic, Value: duckdnsusername.duckdns.org

 

And that should do it.

 

What happens is you point your subsonic clients to:

https://subsonic.yourdomain.com:4433

that hits godaddy CNAME/subdomain subsonic.yourdomain.com

bounces over to duckdns

bounces to your home server IP (updated via duckdns docker in unRaid)

 

whew!
