1. Install Emby on your server

To simplify deployment and help automate this for as many users as possible, we provide a BASH script to handle repo installation as well as installing Emby. All you need to do is run this command on your system

wget https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby.Releases/releases/download/4.7.14.0/emby-server-deb_4.7.14.0_amd64.deb

dpkg -i emby-server-deb_4.7.14.0_amd64.deb

2. SSL certificate generation:

sudo apt install nginx certbot python3-certbot-nginx

sudo certbot --nginx --agree-tos --redirect --hsts --staple-ocsp --email YOUR_EMAIL -d DOMAIN_NAME

echo "0 0 * * *  root  certbot renew --quiet --no-self-upgrade --post-hook 'systemctl reload nginx'" | sudo tee -a /etc/cron.d/renew_certbot

 

3. Configure nginx from a subdomain

Create a file named nginx.conf.

cd /etc/nginx/conf.d/
nano nginx.conf

Then, insert the following text, replacing DOMAIN_NAME with your domain.

# Uncomment the commented sections after you have acquired a SSL Certificate
server {
        listen 80;
        #listen [::]:80;
        server_name DOMAIN_NAME;

        # Uncomment to redirect HTTP to HTTPS
        return 302 https://$host$request_uri;
}

server {
        listen 443 ssl http2;
        #listen [::]:443 ssl http2;
        server_name DOMAIN_NAME;

        ## The default `client_max_body_size` is 1M, this might not be enough for some posters, etc.
        client_max_body_size 20M;

        # use a variable to store the upstream proxy
        # in this example we are using a hostname which is resolved via DNS
        # (if you aren't using DNS remove the resolver line and change the variable to point to an IP address e.g `set $emby 127.0.0.1`)
        set $emby 127.0.0.1;
        resolver 127.0.0.1 valid=30;
