Hi, everyone! Im trying to set up a web server for hosting, jellyfin etc. I have an old laptop where i installed Ubuntu Server.

I purchased a domain name and now trying to set up a jellyfin on jellyfin.my-domain.com.
I think im making a mistake with port mapping or something there. 
I use my home office network. I have a dynamic public ip address. This is the place where i actually dont understand things. When i google my ip address i get: 193.121.208.168. It seems static, but as far as i understand its our ISP ip address, not mine.
My domain registrar points to this public ip address. Jellyfin works on 192.168.1.61:8096 (which is the laptops ip within the address) and nginx on 127.0.0.1:80, but i still cant understand why it doesnt work correctly. Maybe router configurations?
What do i do?

193…. Is your public wan address and 192… is your local privé address

you can access your server from outside your network using:

http://your-public-ip:port

You can find your public IP at https://whatismyipaddress.com

PS: you can’t reach your webserver from inside your local network**, for testing you can reach it via mobile network for example.

**Because There is no NAT loopback on the Sagemcom bbox.

FYI: Port Forwarding on your b-box or Internet Box | and ports you can open
