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!!!

    Everyone here is awesome for ALL the replies. :P Thank you!!

    I decided to try a Cloudflared tunnel, but that didn’t work out because I can’t get the main domain1.com domain to go thru the tunnel… only ‘apps’, like blog.domain1.com. :P

    And, I’m still ironing out how to pass nginx to another local IP on my network; I just haven’t gotten it to click yet. All the info needed is right here - I promise to come back when I iron out the setup and post how I managed to do it…

    I can figure out how to pass nginx [or apache2, for that matter] to another PORT on the same local IP - I think I have both domains listening on ports 80/443 - and I’ll have to change that in order to route the data correctly… let alone getting out to another local IP.

    Again appreciate all the info - sometimes I just have to learn a bit more since I have all the documents right here. :P
