Jellyseer authentication to jellyfin fails

[accessdenied56]

Hi great script thanks for posting.

I have everything working fine as it should except I can't get Jellyseerr to login to Jellyfin, just get incorrect username and password error.

Error in Jellyseerr logs is:
[debug][Jellyfin API]: Failed to authenticate with headers: fetch failed {"ip":"172.22.0.2"}
[warn][Auth]: Failed login attempt from user with incorrect Jellyfin credentials {"account":{"ip":"::ffff:172.22.0.2","email":"jl","password":"REDACTED"}}

I'm using http://jellyfin:8096/jellyfin as the server url and correct username and password.
Don't even see the attempt in the Jellyfin logs as doesn't seem to get past Traefik.

Not sure if it's an issue with the rewrite middleware or not.

Forgot to add I can curl to http://jellyfin:8096/jellyfin from within jellyseerr docker

I was having similar issues. In the ./jellyserr/settings.json under "jellyfin" I ended up needing to:

• generate a new API key from jellyseerr and plug that in the "apiKey" field

• set the ip to "jellyfin"

• set urlBase to "/jellyfin"

• change port from 80 to "8096"

• clear the "name" value (not sure if this one mattered, but the others did)

The approach above might work if you already had a working jellyseerr installation, but it's preventing me from going through the initial setup now. I can't just plug those values into settings.json because it will just ignore them during installation.

Why doesn't the jellyseerr page ask for an API token during setup? As far as I can tell it's required, and when using an api token I can authenticate using curl with the provided settings.

This is my problem, I'm trying to do an initial setup have never used the app before.

Late to the party, but was anything fixed on Jellyseer's end? Do we need to update our configurations or the readme to make it work for new users?
