Hello,

i installed Proxmox on my dedicated server. Now i added a lets encryt ssl certificate for the domain linked to the server. I want to redirect users entering the proxmox web gui via the servers ip to the domain. For example via htaccess. But i do not now how to get this done.

So https://myip:8006/ redirects to https://proxmox.mydomain.tld:8006/

When an IP is put into the address bar of a browser like Chrome/FF/etc, it will always use the address rather than do a reverse DNS. Also, a lot of DNS do not support reverse DNS, or it isn't configured/enabled/working.
Or, you can move the server to a different IP and have a redirection from IP -> new name...
 
I would suggest that you limit Proxmox to localhost:8006 and do a revery proxy in your Apache configuration. Then you can configure Apache to do the redirecting for you. Proxmox itself is IMHO not able to do redirecting.

Hello.

You can use HAProxy to achieve that, I wrote a tutorial on how to redirect a subdomain to another webserver (in this case, your proxmox GUI):
http://freedif.org/redirect-a-subdomain-to-a-vm-with-haproxy/

You need to adapt it to redirect a subdomain to your proxmox IP & port. On my server, I used Proxmox internal IP on vmbr1 and port 8006. I closed access to port 8006 from the public interface for security reasons.

I also used let's encrypt to generate certificates for my subdomains:

Generate certificates (you can have one certificate for multiple subdomains):

Code: 
./letsencrypt-auto certonly --standalone -d domain.com -d subdomain1.domain.com -d subdomain2.domain.com ....


Regroup them in one file:

cat /etc/letsencrypt/live/domain.com/fullchain.pem /etc/letsencrypt/live/domain.com/privkey.pem > /etc/haproxy/letsencrypt/domain.com
Click to expand...

And modify frontend in HAproxy config file to look for the certificate:

Code: 
bind *:443 ssl crt /etc/haproxy/letsencrypt/

Good luck !
