Nginx and Organizr

proxying access to media server

Posted by on April 12, 2018 · 3 mins read

Following up on my earlier post about hosting my own private media server this will cover the details of proxying web access from Nginx through to backend services. Interfaces are managed via Organizr.

This uses the cookie-based authorization available from Organizr.

Nginx organizr.conf

send_timeout 5m;
proxy_read_timeout 240;
proxy_send_timeout 240;
proxy_connect_timeout 240;
client_header_timeout 240;
client_body_timeout 240;

location / {
    root /opt/organizr/html;
    index index.php index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;
    location /auth-admin { rewrite ^ /auth.php?admin&ban=someone,thisperson; }
    location /auth-user { rewrite ^ /auth.php?user&ban=someone,thisperson; }

    location / {try_files $uri $uri/ =404;}
    location ^~ /PimpMyLog/ {
      auth_request /auth-admin;
      include config/phpblock.conf; 
    }
    include config/phpblock.conf;  #PHP Block
  }

    proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";  
  }
if ($http_referer ~* /plex/) {
    rewrite ^/web/(.*) /plex/web/$1? redirect;
  }

location /plexpy {
    if ($cookie_cookiePassword != "TestPassword") { return 403; }
    add_header X-Frame-Options "SAMEORIGIN";
    proxy_pass http://192.168.1.114:8181;

    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $server_name;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
    proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
  }

location /ombi/ {
    if ($cookie_cookiePassword != "TestPassword") { return 403; }
    add_header X-Frame-Options "SAMEORIGIN";
    proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:5000;

    proxy_set_header Connection keep-alive;
    proxy_set_header Host $host;
    proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
  }
if ($http_referer ~* /ombi/) {
    rewrite ^/dist/([0-9\d*]).js /ombi/dist/$1.js;
    rewrite ^/loading.css /ombi/loading.css;    
  }

Naturally, I replaced TestPassword above with a strong password.

Conclusion

Overall, I’ve found Nginx and Organizr to work very well together. I particularly like the delegation of authentication to Plex itself, which maps to friends and family I’ve shared access with.
