Reverse-proxying from a docker network
Reverse-proxying from a docker network
Hello, I have a question regarding the usage of a reverse-proxy which is part of a docker network.
I currently use Nginx Proxy Manager as a reverse-proxy for all my services hosted in docker. This works great since I can simply forward using each containers name. I have some services however (e.g. homeassistant) which are hosted separately in a VM or using docker on another device.
Is it possible to use the same reverse-proxy for those services as well? I haven't found a way to forward to hosts outside of the proxies docker network (except for using the host network setting which I would like to avoid)
If the other services are exposed on local ports, you can have NPM forward to those.
By exposed you basically mean that I can reach them using my browser? I can reach my homeassistant web ui on port 8123 but when I try to forward to that port with the servers IP I get a 400 Bad Request error. I'm not sure if this is caused by nginx being unable to forward or by homeassistant not accepting the connection somehow
If you have any kind of firewall on your network, you might make sure it's not blocking that port with a rule. Here's a couple screenshots from my setup in case that helps.
The config in NPM
The config in HA's configuration.yaml
Try adding just the NPM IP and HA IP first, then add the docker internal network as well if you still have issues.
Acronyms, initialisms, abbreviations, contractions, and other phrases which expand to something larger, that I've seen in this thread:

3 acronyms in this thread; the most compressed thread commented on today has 10 acronyms.
