Hello, I have been completely stuck on this problem for a few months now. Mostly because networking is such a foreign concept to me that I don't even know where to start with googling, what I have tried has not really solved the whole problem, so I apologise for a potentially misleading title, and for the basic language that will follow.
Now I have 3 'endpoints' I want to be ways in and out of various containers on my server:
What would be brilliant but not required for everything is to have DNS and SSL for all the services accessable over a web client, but this is not vital and I have seen ways to do this with pfsense but that is only for local stuff.
Now I presume once I can access the second group (static VPS IP) from outside the network I could use cloudflare to give them DNS. As I would for example be hosting multiple services that want access to port 8080, which is fine when I access them locally but over 1 IP I know that cant happen so I would need to use a reverse proxy. but I would really like some guidance on where to put it, would it be on the VPS server?
Thank you for your help, if this has been asked before i would be happy to be pointed to it, but I am just so confused at this point as to where to even start really.
Thank you so much in advance.
Now I have 3 'endpoints' I want to be ways in and out of various containers on my server:
- My local network - things I don't want or need to be accessible outside the network:
- Such as the proxmox host itself, PiHole, backup services for static PCs etc.
- A static IP (I have myself a tiny VPS with a static IP) - things I want to be accessible from anywhere outside the network
- Such as a jenkins instance, plex, bitwarden, MC servers, various web projects etc.
- Ideally some of these ports would not be forwarded to this external IP, for instance a management client for the MC servers doesn't need that.
- A randomly allocated IP (I have a protonVPN subscription - using the CLI I can change the location every so often with a cron job) - for traffic I don't want to be tracked or blocked
- Such as a youtube-dl container that occasionally checks for new uploads and pulls them down.
- I don't really need these to be accessible by the web, if that makes sense I don't want to access them outside my network, but I want them to show as different IPs every day or so
