I have a nextcloud instance being hosted from my home network. The URL associated with it points directly at my home’s IP. I don’t want to host the instance on a VPS because disk space is expensive. So, instead, I want to point the URL at the VPS, and then somehow route the connection to my home’s nextcloud instance without leaking my home’s ip.

How might I go about doing this? Can this be achieved with nginx?

EDIT: Actually, not leaking my home’s IP is not essential. It is acceptable if it is possible to determine the IP with some effort. What I really want is to be able to host multiple websites with my single home IP without those websites being obviously connected, and to avoid automatic bots constantly looking for vulnerabilities in my home network.

      Is there something that would make caddy better at this than nginx? I have only used nginx in the past, I am looking at how to use proxy_pass to connect from the VPS to my home network.

        Sorry it took so long to get back to you.

        Caddy usually has a simpler reverse proxy configuration, but it also has http/2 and http/3 on by default. Plus it creates and manages http certificates. As far as performance it’s the same as Nginx. Just in my experience it’s simpler to configure and manage.
