Here’s an outline of the goal of my setup:

Guest VM 0(in NAT): 192.168.101.100:80 --> Host: 192.168.86.73:8080

Guest VM 1(in NAT): 192.168.101.85:8096 --> Host: 192.168.86.73:8081

Guest 1&0: 192.168.101.100:22 --> Host: 192.168.86.73:2222

I want to forward jellyfin from a vm to a host. Unfortunately, jellyfin doesn’t let me do that. Everything is alma linux.

When going to 192.168.86.73:808(0,1) in a browser, I receive unable to connect, and when I wget it, I get Connecting to 192.168.86.73:8080... failed: No route to host.

However, I can ssh into the vms from ports 2222 and 2223. This is different from my last issue where I couldn’t access any ports at all, ssh or web.

I set up a hook in /etc/libvirt/hooks/qemu according to this guide, which works for ssh but doesn’t work for Jellyfin. I know jellyfin is working, because from my host machine I can run wget 192.168.101.100 and it returns the jellyfin home. I also know nginx isn’t the issue for the same reason.

Here is my specific hook file:

#!/bin/bash

if [ "${1}" = "Jellyfin" ]; then

Keep in mind I have docker running so some rules may not be relevant.

sysctl net.ipv4.ip_forward returns net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1

I’ve set the firewall backend of libvirt to iptables in /etc/libvirt/network.conf:

firewall_backend = "iptables"

Trying to solve this issue originally, I switched from Rocky to Fedora, but on my rocky and alma install this worked fine both times.

Thank you so much for the continued support with my issues!

    This is nearly impossible to decipher, but your problem is in the networking. You have two VMs with the same IPs, so fix that. You say “NAT”, but I assume you’re meaning a bridged network maybe? If you actually mean a NAT’d network, you’re going above and beyond to really make this more difficult. I’d switch to something a bit more accessible.

        Well then your forwarding hook is broken and won’t work for the second VM.

        Just switch the networking type and make it easier on yourself. It seems you’re following a guide or tutorial, and you’re not familiar with what it’s asking you to do.

        Why are you even running these as VMs to begin with? I don’t see that mentioned.

          Well then your forwarding hook is broken and won’t work for the second VM.

          Because of the lack of clarity, I assume you meant something was wrong with the elif statement, so I ditched that.

              /sbin/iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -p tcp --dport $HOST_PORT2 -j DNAT --to $GUEST_IP:$GUEST_PORT2
   fi
fi
if [ "${1}" = "Nginx" ]; then

          My goal is to isolate Jellyfin and nginx from my seeing network. I’m not following any guide that wasn’t linked in the post.

          I want the VM so my system is more modular and secure.

    Have you considered macvtap? if you can work around the limitation of not accessing the guest directly from the host it will likely be an easier choice for setting up access to your jellyfinserver.

    You did explain what they are trying to do but didn’t explain why, which could help with suggestions on how to achieve what you are looking for in your setup.

      macvtap

      This looks like some type of bridge mode, which I don’t want. I want the vm to be isolated except for the jellyfin ports that are forwarded. I think nat mode and forwarding is the best if not only way to achieve this.
