Question Photo Station DDNS URL Problem

[Telos]

When I launch Photo Station from the DSM desktop, it loads my DDNS URL, and goes nowhere... For example...

hxxps://hot.synology.me/photo/....

The source of problem is that I have set a reverse proxy for the NAS login as such:

hxxps://hot.synology.me > hxxps://NAS_IP:NAS_HTTPS_Port

Hence, when Photo Station launches, it redirects to the DSM login port.

How do I get around this? I find no option within Photo Station nor within the Application Portal.

Presently, I'm left to manually edit the Photo Station login URL by prepending anything random in the DDNS domain URL. For example,

hxxps://z.hot.synology.me/photo/.... and then all is well.

How can I affect the Photo Station package icon to launch Photo Station? Or is there something else I need to tweak?

Have you figured this out? My setup is working, but you can’t use reverse proxy. Reason is because photo station uses https 443, which is probably the same as your reverse proxy for https dsm.

remove the reverse proxy, go into photo station, settings and enter your url. In my case I’ve used the subdomain name.

the only problem I have left is logging into ds photo from the iPhone app, from outside my local network, takes forever when using https. If I uncheck https it logins in quick.

I back-burnered this. Rarely need to access PS remotely. Thanks for your input.

Considering that I don't use PS or Moments, but have been testing Synology Photos with DSM7, wanted to post here about accessing Photos via RP.

So the way I did it was to use the Login Portal > Applications and then edited Photos custom https port to some random number:

After that, I used reverse proxy to make a custom https://photos.mydomain.something record that redirects to https://nasIP:customPhotosPort

Works just fine. Not sure if this is something that can be done with PS or Moments, haven't tried it.
