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.

Hey guys, it's me, Bizzle. I'm a tech hobbyist, but I think I'm a little out of my element here and I'm hoping you can help.

I have a ProxMox server at home, part of it is running Lemmy. I want to make the rest of it run NextCloud. I have a domain name, but I only have one IP address. Therefore, lemmy.moorefam.net points to my house and I forward the port from the VM running Lemmy.

What I want is for nextcloud.moorefam.net to point to a different VM, on my home network. But I don't know how to set that up.

Thanks in advance, Bizzle

Tl;dr: you can add millions of sites to a single IP if you want. Very common in commercial hosting as well.

I would advise against running millions of domains on a single IP, you will run into issues with a lack of ports that are not in use for the reverse proxy/backend connections unless you are dealing with websites that are basically never used.

I mean... if you're running millions of sites on one box, and that itself isn't an issue, I'd assume your port saturation/traffic is pretty low.

Sure.. this was just said to simplify what is technically possible. Should you? No maybe not, for multiple reasons. Can you, technically? Yes absolutely. I don't know what's the limit but I know that if you have to ask here on lemmy, you might not be anywhere near that limit. Unless you are the go daddy.
