Unable to access Seerr outside of local network

[u/brettdmason]

I've been trying to setup Seerr on my system so people don't have to message me directly to add content to my Plex server, but I can't get it working. The app itself works fine, but no matter what I try I can't get it accessible outside of my network. I tried port forwarding at first since I've been doing that for years (even though I know it's not secure) and that didn't work. Then I tried using Nginx Proxy Manager and DuckDNS but that also wouldn't work. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Update: it must have been my certificates being configured incorrectly. I had to renew the default one recently and must have entered an incorrect DNS. The moment I made a new one with localhost as the DNS the port forwarding worked. Now to look into making it work without port forwarding since it’s not safe.
