hey guys
I’m pretty new to this web-stuff
i got a vps where i’d like to install nextcloud. i want it to be reachable via cloud.example.com
i also have a homeserver with octoprint and stuff on it. i’d love to be able to access that with octoprint.example.com
that’s what you pros use a reverse proxy for, right? but how do i do that?
install nextcloud with appache and use nginx as the proxy? i guess i could also use haproxy for that as well? what would you recomend as setup?
sadly nginx proxy manager is no option. but is there another easy to config method?
I would keep octopi off the Internet (local network only). There’s too much risk that if somebody did get access they could heat your hot-end up to 300C and just leave it there or something… Setup a vpn if you want remote access to it.
good point
but octoprint was more of an example. not the best, for sure
You do not need to expose octoprint to the Internet when you use a reverse proxy. You can set it up to be local only or leave some services local only.
