Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

I am running a Proxmox node with a VM running a couple of Podman rootless containers, one of which is Jellyfin. I have also installed Traefik on a separate LXC unprivileged container. I have installed Tailscale on both the VM and the LXC.

What I want now is to create a reverse proxy so that I create subdomains pointing to my registered domain name, e.g. example.com.

I want when trying to access ‘jellyfin.example.com‘ the reverse proxy to point to the Tailscale IP or URL, for example ‘https://media.tbXXX.ts.net:8096‘. But that should work only when connected to the Tailscale network.

Is this even possible? If it is, can you point me to some resources explaining the whole configuration?

The problem is that I have a couple of services listening on different ports and I want to use the reverse proxy to listen to incoming requests and route the traffic to the corresponding ports. I also want to issue SSL certificates and serve the traffic over TCP port 443.

Presumably most of those services on the same physical host are running in containers? So just add tailscale as a sidecar to that. Each container will be its own host as far as your tailnet is concerned and have its own internal IP. The official tailscale youtube has tutorials on that because it maps much better to a portainer based setup and more or less requires clients to have the tailnet running constantly (which, in my opinion, defeats the purpose of selfhosting but you do you).

Or do a mess with SRV records and... good luck with that
