📺 Media server — new links

Everything moved to proper HTTPS web addresses. Two messages below: one for everyone, one just for admins. Tap to copy, then paste into WhatsApp.

⚠️ Read this first — it explains 99% of "the link doesn't work"

Port 80 is not forwarded on the router, so plain http:// does not reach the server at all — it fails with no error page, which looks exactly like the site being down.

✅ https://request.allan.sahirm.com — works
❌ http://request.allan.sahirm.com — dead connection
❌ request.allan.sahirm.com typed bare — many browsers and chat apps turn this into http://, so it fails

Always include https://, or tap a link from this page. Forwarding port 80 on the router would make the bare form auto-redirect and remove this trap entirely.

Still not working? Open it in a private/incognito window. That bypasses cached redirects and DNS from the old links, which is the other common cause.

Message 1 — for family & friends Public

Safe to send to anyone who watches stuff. Contains no admin links.

📺 *Media server update — nicer links!*

Everything now has a proper secure web address, so no more typing weird port numbers.

*A few notes:*
• Make sure it starts with *https://* — plain http won't work
• Your old links still work for now, but please switch over
• Same username and password as before, nothing changed there
• Everything is encrypted now, so logging in over wifi/mobile is safe

Any trouble, just message me 👍

Message 2 — admins only Private

For you and Allan. Do not send this to the family group — these panels control downloads and indexer credentials.

🔧 *Fitlet admin links — now HTTPS*

*Media*
Jellyfin — https://jellyfin.allan.sahirm.com
Emby — https://emby.allan.sahirm.com
Requests — https://request.allan.sahirm.com

*Admin*
qBittorrent — https://qbit.allan.sahirm.com
Sonarr — https://sonarr.allan.sahirm.com
Radarr — https://radarr.allan.sahirm.com
Prowlarr — https://prowlarr.allan.sahirm.com
Jackett — https://jackett.allan.sahirm.com

*Notes:*
• Must be *https://* — port 80 isn't forwarded, so http won't auto-redirect
• Old port URLs (:8081, :8989, :7878, :9696, :9117, :5055) still work as a fallback
• qbittorrent. and jellyseerr. still work as aliases for qbit. and request.
• All share one wildcard certificate, auto-renewing

*qBitController on Android:* set the host to
https://qbit.allan.sahirm.com
with no port number. This is what fixes the "unexpected end of stream" crashes.

Every hostname, what it points at, and who should have it.

Emby	emby.allan.sahirm.com	Everyone
Requests	request.allan.sahirm.com	Everyone
qBittorrent	qbit.allan.sahirm.com	Admin

Two things that trip people up

Port 80 isn't forwarded, so typing http:// gives nothing — it must be https://.
Old allan.sahirm.com:PORT URLs still work, so nothing breaks if someone ignores this message.

What actually changed

All services sit behind one reverse proxy with a single wildcard TLS certificate.
Logins and passwords are encrypted in transit now — previously they crossed the internet in plaintext.
Fixed the qBitController “unexpected end of stream” crash: qBittorrent was hanging up idle connections after ~7 seconds without telling the app, which kept reusing them for 5 minutes.
No usernames or passwords changed.
