Working Unifi UNVR NGINX Config

NashBrydges

As the title says, I am trying to setup UNVR behind NGINX and wonder if anyone has a working config. I can get the webUI to show up but livestream or video playback is not working. My google-fu is failing me in trying to find which ports need to be part of my config.

I'm just assuming you've already seen Ubiquiti's documentation? https://help.ui.com/hc/en-us/articles/217875218-UniFi-Video-Ports-Used

@travisdh1 I did, yes, however this was at the top of the page which prompted me to come here...

@nashbrydges If they're done with it ... wish they'd release their NVR as open source and let others use and update it.

RTSP... I believe you need Nginx Plus you're wanting to do something other than HTTP

Assuming RTSP isn't required, I'm guessing you need to enable the video connection for webrtc, which I think is just a one liner in nginx

This maybe?

@nashbrydges I setup two configurations, one for Port 7443 through HTTPS and another with port 7446 which is for video playing.

@dbeato Thanks. I'll give this a try over the weekend.
