- a reverse proxy to terminate the SSL connections (e.g. nginx, HA Proxy) I've been using https://nginxproxymanager.com for a while now. Relatively easy to set up (if you have Docker running anyway...), and is supposed to support Let's Encrypt. That said: LMS will still require port 9000 or

Somewhat related - I'm currently moving the web UIs of all apps I run in my LAN (including LMS) to https, so here's a short summary of my findings. A clean solution (i.e. one which works with all clients (browsers etc.)) out of the box is not trivial unless you have basic tech skills. You'll

At least I now understand why LMS remains using http since the hardware (in my case a squeezebox-2) requires it. Once again constrained by the abandonment of the product by Logitech after purchasing from slimserver leaving the customer base. To be fair you have to accept the fact that there

AFAIK the players don't communicate with LMS over HTTP. This interface They do when playing local media files, or when streaming proxied and https online resources. ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com

I think you should have searched better, because this seems like a duplicate entry to me. AFAIK the players don't communicate with LMS over HTTP. This interface is really only to allow you to control what is being played. The main point about using plain HTTP here instead of secure HTTPS is

Apparently, with newer version of chrome, it must remember the response to the conflict (which is to go insecurely and override the need for https), because it is now not stopping but running as it should. Since I am behind my router, and within my lan, this should not be a security issue. I

People asking for https does come up occasionally but given that the hardware players require http then it would be difficult for LMS to make a switch completely. However, you are not asking for that. I am running Chrome 96 and have no issues accessing localhost or 127.0.0.1 or 192.168.x.y

I apologize up front if this is a FAQ, but I could not seem to find it if it is. The newer versions of Google Chrome are essentially requiring https in order to work. At the very least, I have to force it to use http; even over the LAN to my favorite LMS (http://localhost:9000/). Is there
