hey guys

I'm pretty new to this web-stuff

i got a vps where i'd like to install nextcloud. i want it to be reachable via cloud.example.com

i also have a homeserver with octoprint and stuff on it. i'd love to be able to access that with octoprint.example.com

that's what you pros use a reverse proxy for, right? but how do i do that?

install nextcloud with appache and use nginx as the proxy? i guess i could also use haproxy for that as well? what would you recomend as setup?

sadly nginx proxy manager is no option. but is there another easy to config method?

I use Caddy V2 (running in Docker/Podman). Configuration can be even simpler than the below. It automatically sorts out the SSL certs from Let's Encrypt for you. If you use Cloudflare DNS challenge like I do, you can get SSL without the server having to be exposed to the internet.

cloud.example.com {
  encode zstd gzip
  tls {
    dns cloudflare {$CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN}
    resolvers 1.1.1.1 1.0.0.1
  }
  reverse_proxy nextcloud.my.local.domain:80
}

If you want it exposed then you can just use the default HTTP challenge.

cloud.example.com {
  encode zstd gzip
  reverse_proxy nextcloud.my.local.domain:80
}

And yes you can add any number of sites on subdomains like this and it will reverse proxy them to the correct server based on the domain name.
