Question: Which URL should I be using? #207

Closed BigJazzz closed 3 years ago

BigJazzz commented 3 years ago

I'm setting Muximux up to be my external portal to all my apps inside my home network. I'm using a reverse proxy with SSL to assist with this (and internally it works amazingly!). The question I have is: what URL should I be adding for external access? I feel like the answer is really obvious, but I thought I'd ask for clarification. I.e. should I be adding the internal ip:port, or should I be using a FQDN? I suppose if I'm using a reverse proxy that's handling the internal port forwarding I can close up the ports in my router?

Apologies for what I feel is a super-basic question, but I'm struggling to work through it in my head. TIA.

You use your external fqdn, telling you browser where to go.

I've only got port 443 (https) open on my router, directing that to a server in my local network (192.168.x.x). That's where I have the reverse proxy running (I use nginx). The reverse proxy is answering to muximux.example.com and my services are muximux.example.com/nzbget/ for example. So I would configure muximux to use that url for nzbget.
