Need help accessing 2 Proxmox servers via domain name pls

[husskii]

Hello I have installed 2 proxmox servers which i want to put together eventually having multiple nodes (i think a cluster not sure still learning)
my servers at the moment are pve.mydomain.com and pve2.mydomain.com i have set dns records for these as cname records pointing to my a record of mydomain.com.

this is a home environment so i have setup ddns on a vm via my 1st proxmox server which auto updates my dynamic ip, and then all my subdomains are cname pointing to my initial A record which hosts my domain name with my home ip.

I believe my host files are correct, pve.mydomain.com is 192.168.0.97 and pve2.mydomain.com is 192.168.0.198

my problem is for some reason it doesnt matter if i try pve or pve2 they both go to my 1st proxmox server and i am only able to access the 2nd server via its local ip.

is it possible to accomplish what i am trying to do (accessing 2 separate proxmox servers on subdomain same ip) and if so could someone please help and point me in the right direction.

Thanks

hi,


with your current setup your only chance would be opening different ports for the web GUI of the two servers, e.g.
mydomain.com:8080 -> 192.168.0.97:8006
mydomain.com:8081 -> 192.168.0.198:8006
though this way you will have to type the port number each time.


what you need is a reverse proxy in front of the servers which would redirect the http requests to the 1st or 2nd server based on the hostname (subdomain).
you could use for example nginx to accomplish that.

though if you will cluster your nodes eventually, be aware that you can manage pve2 from pve1 without logging into pve2

thanks i recently tried installing nginx proxy manager on a CT with a script but it seems to fail (internal error) when ever i tried to use ssl and with http and no ssl it worked but obviously i couldnt access the panel that way as https was not working. so now i plan to install npm myself on a vm without a script and hope that helps. as i later notices in logs there was an ssl error during the script install.

***Edit I did fix my router ports so now i am able to access each server by its subdomain (i really appreciate that idea) thank you

Also managed to get the cluster to work, there was a step that was missing in the video guide. i had to manually select the IP of current server from a drop down menu, after doing that and hitting refresh all worked well..

Thanks for help with sub domain
