Emby Load Balancing using Nginx Rumi, May 26, 2020 Emby is a nice and excellent low resource hungry media server. However if you have substantially high amount of traffic, you need a load-balancer. A sample Nginx based load balancing configuration as below might help. upstream emby { server SERVER1IP:PORT max_fails=2 fail_timeout=5s; server SERVER2IP:PORT weight=2; server SERVER3IP:PORT weight=4; keepalive 300; <---- allows 300 keepalive connections then drops older inactive ones to add new ones } server { listen 443 ssl; server_name yourdomain; #Very Simple SSL Setup to support all clients ssl_session_timeout 10m; ssl_certificate /pathtoyour.crt; ssl_certificate_key /pathtoyourkey.key; ssl_protocols TLSv1.2 TLSv1.1 TLSv1; ssl_ciphers EECDH+CHACHA20:EECDH+AES128:RSA+AES128:EECDH+AES256:RSA+AES256:EECDH+3DES:RSA+3DES:!MD5; location / { proxy_pass http://emby; proxy_read_timeout 20; proxy_next_upstream error timeout; <----- goes to next upstream block on an error or timeout proxy_redirect off; proxy_buffering off; proxy_http_version 1.1; proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade; proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade"; proxy_set_header Host $host;$port; include /etc/nginx/conf.d/cfip; <-------- cloudflare real IP and X-Forwarded to double check proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $http_x_forwarded_for; proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto https; <-------- sometimes wasn't writing protocol as https so removing variable forces it to write https proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Protocol https; add_header Cache-Control "private"; <------ no caching headers - add different blocks for different file types with different expires expires off; <------ no caching headers - add different blocks for different file types with different expires sendfile on; tcp_nodelay on; tcp_nopush on; } } Tips: You may need to build a shared database on NFS- as emby is by default setup with sqlite db. Emby Data Path- /var/lib/emby On below source link, there’s another haproxy based configuration too. Suit yourself!
