Hello, all. I’ll start this post off with - this is a test. :P I have the same topic posted at /r/… seeing if I get any l<3ve over here!!! I hope so!!! LemmyNet for the WiN!

I have two domains that I pay for… lets call them domain1.com and domain2.com. I’m running a Bitwarden docker container that uses nginx to serve the website… its address is bitwarden.domain1.com .

I’m running a HUGO website with Apache2… its address is domain2.com .

I have one local IP address; currently, I forward ports 80 & 443 to the local IP of the Bitwarden VM. So… thats my issue; I don’t understand how to forward these two different services to the domains that I want them on… I’ve read about Apache2’s vhosts - but the websites are on different VMs, and the Bitwarden docker container uses nginx.

I’ve thought about condensing and putting both services in one VM; but theres still the apache2/nginx issue. I’ve heard someone mention I should use a third VM to route the traffic to the correct local IPs - but I don’t know what software I’d use.

I’ve thought about using a Cloudflare tunnel for one of those services; but I don’t really want to pay, and aren’t sure how fast a free Cloudflare tunnel would be - this might be a solution for the Bitwarden service, as I’m the only one accessing it…

Does anyone have any suggestions? I’m sure I’m just novice enough that I don’t see the obvious solution - and I’d love to get both sites up and running. Thanks for any input or help!!!

    The setup for my home network is:

    • caddy
    • tailscale
    • PiHole

    I have several machines running different services.
    Tailscale is in each one of them with the MagicDNS setting pointing to the tail IP of the PiHole.

    In the PiHole’s DNS I have my different addresses pointing to the machine running caddy (for jellyfin, for PiHole itself, for each of the projects I sometimes run)
    (this will be replaced by your domains pointing to your public IP where you’ll be running caddy).

    Now in the CaddyFile you’ll have something like this

    jellyfin.pe1uca.local {
    reverse_proxy <service_tail_ip>:<port>
} 

pihole.pe1uca.local {
    reverse_proxy <service_tail_ip>:<port>
}

    And the rest of your services in the same way.
