I’ve been running 2 linodes for a number of years now - one has my website (wordpress) on it and one has a Foundry VTT server running. Both are separate linodes, and I use Google Domains to point [site.tld] to the wordpress VPS and foundry.[site.tld] to the other linode.

For a few services I run at home within my own network (Sonarr, Lidarr, Plex, etc.) I’ve started to use Docker and Portainer, and I like how easy it is to set things up (and remove them if they don’t work). I’d like to redo my VPS similarly - I’d like to have a single linode, as a Docker host, and have the main domain point to a Wordpress container, a subdomain point to a Foundry container, and be able to easily add other containers for something like freshrss, etc. My goal is to be able to quickly spin up a docker via a compose file (portainer would be preferred), have it automatically reach out to letsencrypt to get a cert for the relevant subdomain, and have that subdomain point to that docker container.

I’ve been doing some searching around, and there seem to be a number of options, things like nginx reverse proxy, traefik, etc. and there are a lot of conflicting results.

Does anyone here have an opinion on this or some advice as to what the best option to look into might be?

      I’ve found npm to be fairly easy to setup. But I’m not far from your situation, trying out various options to see what works best for me

        That’s pretty much where I am. This isn’t my day job, it’s something I mess with for fun and so I’d like to make it easy not just to set up but to expand if necessary, and easy enough that if I don’t touch it for a year and come back to it I won’t be completely clueless!
