Single IP and Multiple Websites

[korpfhouder]

Hi everyone and thanks in advance for the help

I'm a newbie with Proxmox and I know this question has been addressed in many threads, but I believe my situation is a bit different because many people asking have a home setup. I have a remote bare metal server with pve installed.

I'd like to create different VMs for my different websites and have "something" routing the traffic from the ports 80/443 to the different VMs providing the services. One IP, multiple services

I know the request could seem pretty vague, but I don't know how to provide more useful details.
Thank you very much

You will need a traffic balancer installed on a VM (haproxy, nginx varnish) based on the type of "balancing" and data you need to do.

Google for "Reverse Proxy".

I read many people suggest a load balancer combined with a reverse proxy like Traefik etc.

I believe I need to create a CT to host the reverse proxy with a static IP and route all the traffic to that VM.
My question is how to make all the traffic route to that specific VM.
Is it correct?
Thanks

Without a router between your PVE and the internet that could port-forward to the reverse proxy VM/CT you could turn your PVE Host into a router. See examples for NAT or routed configurations: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Network_Configuration#sysadmin_network_routed

Hi, I did what you suggested. There's a CT now in a bridge network I can access from outside. Thanks for the guidance.

What now? I mean...do you suggest a firewall like OPNSense, a load balancer and a reverse proxy in this CT from which I can reach all the other VMs/CTs I'll create?

Thanks again for the help
