Point domain to Container

[Admiral Awesome]

Hi,

is there a way to point domain to a given Container or VM inside pve IP address?

Theoretically what I want to do:

I have 1 external IP address of my PVE node.
I've got 2 containers with some websites on them.
I've got two different domains. I want to point domain A to container A and domain B to container B.

That's it.
Thank you in advance for any ideas.

if you have a single public IP address on your PVE, then that's the only IP address you can put inside your DNS records for the domains (since the internal IPs of your containers are not accessible by clients on external internet).

for that to work you'll have to do port forwarding on your PVE host, basically to forward all the packets coming to a specific port on your PVE host's public IP to the internal IP address of the container or VM [0].

if you want it all to run transparently on a single port (like 80 or 443, or both), then you will have to either
* host the sites from the same container
* use a reverse proxy (such as nginx, running in a separate CT/VM) to handle redirecting to the virtual hosts inside separate containers

hope this helps!

So I need to point my external IP to the Container with for example NGinx, that will take care of my internal redirections, correct?

yes, it could be something like this:

yourdomain1.com and yourdomain2.com resolves to your PVE IP

let's assume your internal range is 192.168.1.0/24, and your nginx container is running on 192.168.1.100

webserver for yourdomain1.com running on 192.168.1.101, and yourdomain2.com 192.168.1.102

external internet ----> yourdomain1.com:80 or yourdomain1.com:443 ----> port forward to 192.168.1.100:80 / 192.168.1.100:443 respectively ----> nginx reverse proxy handles vhost for yourdomain1.com and yourdomain2.com to respective containers

Great. Thank you very much! No I need to test it myself.
