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)?

    While using a web server before your self hosted micro services is the obvious answer and caddy the easier to configure, as a beginner you should also consider taiscale funnels. You dont need to mess with router stuff like port forward or caring if you ISP have your router behind a cgnat which is kinda norm nowadays , also dont have to care for a domain name dynamic DNS stuff . You could have a look to my quick how to . All you need is running a script , the ports and desired names of your subdomains and your tailscale auth key. https://ippocratis.github.io/tailscale/

      Well I already got static IP from my ISP and configured Wireguard on my directly on my router so I think I’m good.

        The funnel exposes your local services to the public over https . Like what you want to accomplish with reverse proxy . Its just more straightforward for a beginner.

        Personally I closed my router ports and switched to tailscalr funnels after using caddy with mutual TLS for years.

          they did not say they want it public, and that’s an additional security burden they may not need

          maybe silly question but does tailscale tunnel operate in a similar fashion to a cloud flare tunnel? as in you can remotely access your internal service over https?
