⚠️ It is mandatory that the server where the Emby server is running has a DNS configured that resolvesmb3admin.comto the local IP of the nginx server.
-
Now, you have to options:
a. Recommended: Edit your local DNS (Pihole, Adguard, router, bind...) and rewrite
mb3admin.comwith local IP.
b. Edit the hosts file of each device you're going to use Emby.
- Windows:
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts - Linux:
/etc/hosts
<your_local_ip_adress_here> mb3admin.com⚠️ Replace<your_local_ip_adress_here>with the IP of machine where the containers run. - Windows:
-
Create
compose.yml
services:
emby:
build: ./server
container_name: emby
environment:
- PUID=1000
- PGID=1000
- TZ=Europe/London
volumes:
- ./config:/config
- /media/tv:/data/tvshows
- /media/movies:/data/movies
ports:
- 8096:8096
- 8920:8920 #optional
restart: unless-stopped
mb3admin:
build: ./mb3admin
container_name: mb3admin
ports:
- 443:443
restart: unless-stopped
networks:
default:
aliases:
- mb3admin.com- Start containers
docker compose up -d- Check if everything is OK
Execute
docker exec emby bash -c "curl -w '\n' -s --cacert /app/emby/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt https://mb3admin.com/admin/service/registration/validateDevice"
If the output is as follows everything is fine
{"cacheExpirationDays":3650,"message":"Device Valid (limit not checked)","resultCode":"GOOD"}
- Open https://mb3admin.com in your browser and accept the self-signed certificate
- Open the Emby Premiere Section in Settings, and write whatever you want in the "Emby Premiere key (paste from e-mail)" and click "Save"
⚠️ You MUST do the above steps for this to work
- Go to
- Windows:
%appdata%\Emby-Theater\system\electronapp - Linux:
/opt/emby-theater/electron/resources/app/
- Open
main.jswith text editor - After this
app.on('window-all-closed', function () {
// On OS X it is common for applications and their menu bar
// to stay active until the user quits explicitly with Cmd + Q
if (process.platform != 'darwin') {
app.quit();
}
});Add this:
app.on('certificate-error', (event, webContents, url, error, certificate, callback) => {
event.preventDefault()
callback(true)
})You DON'T NEED TO DO any extra steps to make it work on Android on local network. First time you open the app it will prompt a dialog to accept self-signed certificate. If this dialog does not appear you have done something wrong.
If you want it to work outside the local network, you need to get a modded apk
You must go to the settings and enable "Allow Untrusted SSL Playback"
Thanks @OrpheeGT for the information
- Change to the folder where the
compose.ymlfile is - Build a new emby image
docker compose build emby --pull --no-cache- Restart container
