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!!!

    I’d only need Cloudflare for one of the sites/VMs; or, both if it’ll handle it easily - I’ll be hosting both sites on my hardware. No sites data will be on Cloudflare, I was only thinking about using a tunnel from them to take care of one, or both, the sites.

    Thank you for the reply - I’m blown away that I’ve gotten all these suggestions on LemmyNet before one reply on /r/!

      Reddit has loads of people asking and not enough answering. Lemmy has lots of new users and not enough posts to answer, so you got lucky :)

      The spirit of (small) community shines here, it would seem 😀
