Hi everybody.
How should I setup reverse proxy for my services? I’ve got things like jellyfin, immich a bitwarden running on my Debian server in docker. So should i install something like nginx for each of these also in docker? Or should I install it from repository and make configs for each of these docker services?
Btw I have no idea how to use something like nginx or caddy but i would still like to learn.
Also can you use nginx for multiple services on the same port like(443)?
Caddy
It’s three lines of configuration
jellyfin.example.com { reverse_proxy http://localhost:8083/ }
Automatic https with let’sencrypt, simplicity of a single binary, downgrade is as simple as replace binary & restart service.
How does my DNS know where to look for this?
-
you rent a domain
-
in the config (provided by the service where you rented the domain) you set it to point to the IP of the device where you run caddy
-
the service tells the relevant global DNS servers your setting
-
your DNS does a DNS lookup and a DNS server returns the IP you configured it to point to
Depending on the DNS you use, you can manually add entries to do 1-3 differently, but that will only work for devices that use your DNS and is hard.
Is this a local address or a public IP address?
I just want the resolving internal to my network but I never got it working right.
