I’ve got a homelab running a number of services in Docker. Everything works beautifully internally, but access from outside the network is very slow. I’m using nginx proxy manager and cloudflare ddns for the external access. It’s not a speed issue. I’m on fiber with a very solid upload.

Jellyfin and Overseerr are the main services that I’m having trouble with. Oddly, once you manage to get a video going in Jellyfin, it works fine.

I could use some guidance in what to look for, what tools I can use, or any other advice on how to track down the issue. Thanks!

    Regarding tcpdump, you can use it directly from the command line to print out packets, or you can have it record traffic to a file. That file can later be opened in Wireshark for analysis, with filters, color, blackjack and hookers, and protocol decoding.

    Things like TCP retries or MTU issues/fragmentation will be very apparent when presented in Wireshark.
