This is a support ticket. You should hop onto Discord. The log clearly says invalid url, which means it's unable to connect to your jellyfin instance. Which would happen when you use localhost:8096 inside the docker container for jellyseerr. It runs on a separate subnet. You can't use localhost. Localhost refers to the docker container, not the host system. Please hop onto Discord, and we can help you set it up.

This is not a bug. This is not related to jellyseerr either but incorrect usage of docker networking.
