Documentation for stream hosts #2946

Open Altycoder opened 1 year ago

Altycoder commented 1 year ago

I've just set up a proxy host for Plex Media Server (and will shortly do the same for Jellyfin which I've just started playing with). This seems to be working OK based on limited testing but I've also stumbled across some posts saying that proxy hosts are really designed for web page/http type traffic and not media and that a stream host should be used for the likes of Plex instead.

However the nginx proxy manager guide doesn't seem to cover stream hosts even though these are available under hosts in the GUI. Please could we have some documentation on stream hosts?

It's not clear to me from the edit stream form in nginx proxy manager how you would set up a host for plex as is appears to capture the incoming port and forward it to a host and port. Do I specify an incoming port of 443, forward host of plex.domain.com or my PMS private IP address and forward port of 32400? Do I forward both TCP and UDP? Do I have both this and a proxy host or just one or the other?

Thanks in advance :-)
