Hey Wolfgang!! 😊 what about accessing our home lab securely from the outside world without using third party CDN like cloudflare? Please provide us with a solution in a next video?😊🙏🎉
Greetings to you. Do you have an explanation on how to replace the ip address of the carrier that is shown to the world to: domain HTTPS global. With its connection to a number: a computer.
Very nice video, this setup is more convenient than my own dns server. For anyone using a fritzbox router: You have to add your full domain as an exception to the "DNS rebind protection", because the fritzbox does not allow DNS resolution of domain names that point to private ips to protect against DNS rebinding attacks
This video could not have come at a better time! I've just started putting together my own home server and I've been driving myself insane with self-signed certificates. Thanks!
Thank you, sir! This is a great video. For anyone using pfsense on their home network -- with a different domain than your purchased domain for your home lab -- you are going to want to add DNS host overrides for your purchased domain and the hosts that you are going to be proxying, all pointing to the IP address of the nginx proxy manager.
@@falxie_ nginx proxy manager. Yes, I barely touched JS and I had to ask chatgpt (which is suprisingly good for setting up simple stuff and writing simple shell script
Wow, thank you for this video! I didn't know (or think of) that you could point a domain name to a private IP address. That makes creating SSL certificates super easy like this! Love you
My man! You are my hero. I've watched so many videos trying to figure out how to do this exact thing and you explained it all so perfectly. And the written guide to accompany it was an added bonus and very much appreciated. Thank you, sir!
Thank you - as I use Pi-hole, I had to add entries to the pi-hole local dns with the (sub-)domain names pointing to the proxy-manager. After that it run as you explained it.
Yet another great video Wolfgang. Outstanding work. I've been wanting to do this for a while for my homelab and this video is the push I needed. Thank you.
Your Video is like a rescue ring. I had trouble understanding this concept with the traefik guides from Techno Tim but now that you've implementet a sceamtic drawing it helped alot. Thanks! Again a Video to exact right time :D My instructor wanted me to get the basic of dns and teach myself but i was only stuck at this internal external stuff so you safed me :D
@@brokenicelight i came up with a solution. i shutdown traefik and started up nginx proxy manager instead 🤣 i got it to work kinda. even authentik works with it. just, it only works when my vpn is active. when its turned off, it no longer works 🥲
This is such a great feature for self-hosting. Thanks for sharing. It's worth noting that some routers like Fritzboxes have a "DNS rebind protection" where you must add an exception. Otherwise you will bang your head against the wall why it doesn't work, like i did.
Dude... this intro speaks directly to my soul. Completely spot-on how it feels. The Blade Runner segment is perfect. Going to do this on my home lab, that's turned into something I'd see in the field, at work. Too funny man 😂😂 *joined* 😂😂❤
Tausend Dank Wolfgang. This is exactly what I was looking for. I was this close to setting up my own CA and getting a headache trying to add the root certs to all the devices.
Doesn't work for Cloudflare. There is no way of mapping an IP address for a challenge and when you add your name servers after the domain it fails. I don't want to use Duck DNS though. Maybe a video on how to do this using Cloudflare would be cool.
I finally got to set this up after watching the video months ago. I should have set up proxies long ago, much more convenient. One thing to mention is that this method works well with tailscale as well. I just put my server's tailscale IP instead of local network IP and it works perfectly. Really useful for privately sharing linux isos with friends.
This video was right on time! I was exploring how could I deploy things locally without deal with IPs and cert issues. Very valuable info, thanks for sharing.
Btw, great video! Thanks for explaining everything in such a concise and easy to understand manner. Just a heads up, apparently this method doesn't fully work on Chrome if you have Safe Browsing Standard or Enhanced protection enabled, for me I get the "Deceptive site ahead" warning for some of my local apps, like Jellyfin for example, but I don't get the warning for other apps like Code Server, so idk, just wanted to let you know. On Firefox I don't get warnings no matter what though, so that works just fine.
Thank you for this video, have always been wanting to access all my services through https rather than typing in my IP every time but couldn't as I thought it will take some time for me to study the nuances of the process. This has been an easy and fast setup.
Gracias por este valioso contenido, hace tiempo que no encontraba como asignarle certificados válidos a un servicio que estuviera fuera Docker, pero ahora ya me di la idea de como poder solucionarlo gracias a tu vídeo ✌️
Makes sense, though the traffic between the proxy and the service that is being accessed is still unencrypted correct? This gives the appearance like local traffic is encrypted, but really local traffic passes unencrypted to the reverse proxy before it is encrypted. I think it would have made sense to take an extra step and create a self-signed certificate that would be installed on the service and validated by the reverse proxy to ensure end-to-end encryption. Unless I'm missing something?
Nice video! I've been doing something similar: wildcard certificates and wildcard dns pointing at my home's public IP. Then I have an nginx reverse proxy + SSL terminator and configs for my services. If I want a service to be publicly reachable, all I do is add an nginx config and boom, done. If I want something to be available only locally, I simply add an override into my pihole dns server or just add an ip-based allow/deny block to the nginx config. Simple, and the wildcards add a bit of security by obscurity - no more bots finding services by reading the DNS or certificate data. I'm getting my certs using dns-01 with the lego acme client.
I’ve found that some services require some special headers and if not configured correctly they break, that’s the hardest part for me, as finding the nginx headers needed for each services can be difficult
Take a look at SWAG's reverse proxy conf repository - they have examples for pretty much every popular web application: github.com/linuxserver/reverse-proxy-confs
I didn't know I needed this video until it was recommended to me. Amazing video and great explanations. Thanks for the caption. Greetings from Brazil. ✌🏽
One minor correction about setting proxy hosts. Setting the forward hostname as localhost for any containers other than the Nginx Proxy Manager container leads to a 502 Bad Gateway error, even if all containers are running on the same network. I resolved it by using the IP address instead of localhost.
Even if i turn off the certificate and i set the ip to the ip of an other of my homeservers, the forwarding does not work . I get a connection refused error. What is the best way to debug that?
This doesn't work for me. I didn't use duckdns, instead my own domain. I have the SSL certificate setup, I've likewise added in the * subdomain, and it doesn't route.
Another option involves becoming your own certificate authority and creating your own self-signed certificates. Takes five minutes, requires no external services and is as simple as typing in a few commands and importing the certificate authority (this does have to be done on every device, but only needs to be done once per device).
Definitely a good alternative if you prefer that. However, the problem is "once per device" also means "once per OS/ROM reinstall". In my opinion, managing the configuration centrally via one device running a reverse proxy is just a bit more convenient than having to manage it separately on every device in your home network. Some of which make it a real PITA to add certificate exceptions (e.g. smart appliances like TVs, gaming consoles etc.)
This is also more secure as public CAs are best assumed compromised. For even more security an air gapped computer and a tamper proof USB mass storage device (such as Nitrokey Storage) should be used.
It's not a once per device setup. Firefox uses its own store for trusted ca - at least on windows. And good luck convincing samsung tv that the cert that plex server is using is indeed trusted. Another thing is that while revproxy tools can automate this for you, you will either have to create certs with long expiry dates or frequently rotate them manually. I'm not a fan on NPM (buggy piece of software) but this video has a point: it's easy to start with and once you get the concept spinning up traefik instance and adding few tags in docker compose for your services is even easier
Trolling both sides, maybe. Or a case of ruffling both sides, rather than antagonizing one side only. You can win regardless, especially with the spread of audience by Wolfgang.
Hi, thank you for that vdieo I built an Unraid server two years ago and I have been trying to fix that certificate issue since then. Unfortunately it does not work like described. After setting it up like you did with duckdns and nginx I can open the NGinx WEBUI like you butr any other proxy host gives me a 502 bad gateway error (tried vaultwarden and jellyfin) any idea what I could do wrong?
@@chrgeorgeson I did. I had a knot in my brain. I alwys wnated to point nginx to the https address of the service (e.g.: vaultwarden) but the whole point is that nginx is the https endpoint so you need to tell nginx to open the http (no S) URL. Then it works.
@@chrgeorgeson HA same thing for me , just commeneted. Guessing it has to do with the way unraid builds its docker network and uses the same IP... Not sure..
@@TheQwenton yes, I made the mistake to add the URL with httpS to nginx. That of course will not work as the connection between nginx and the actual website is regular http.
Thank you for this video. I have set it up at home, no longer public visibility for some services. Combined with Tailscale router (to access your local networks), it rocks !
Hey, your comment is exactly what I was looking for, I'm trying to also setup Tailscale alongside Nginx like in the video, but Tailscale also uses port 80, how did you manage it?
Nvm, I got it working, for some reason when I had CasaOS installed as a container before installing NPM, I'd get trouble installing NPM's container, however if I install NPM, configure it and only afterwards install Tailscale then it works just fine.
Although, on a separate note, how do you access your local environment using Tailscale when you're outside of your local network? Since duckdns points to a local IP, it doesn't really work for me outside of my local network, could you explain what you did?
Danke Wolfgang! I find it absurd that we need to jump through these hoops, just to have valid SSL in our home networks, but you made those hoops much easier to jump through :)
Great video as always. Thank you for sharing it with us. I am using pfSense in my environment and having HAProxy, however I needed a second proxy manager, your video helped me a lot with setting up the second one. 👍
man i spent so long looking for a video like this, and it shows up right after i got it working. wouldve been nice to get this recommendation first lol
This is an amazing video, thank you very much. SSL cert errors set me off. I followed this and it worked flawlessly. I think modified to use my Tailscale VPN IP addresses and now I can access my home lab services anywhere with a nice certificate, makes me happy. Time to touch grass, thanks again.
Thank you so much for this video, 1 thing I don't think anyone ran into is I had to wait almost a day for my registrar to reflect the IP changes. 🤦Now that I found you I'm going to look through your other video's Thanks again.
You are an absolute legend for this video! I've been trying to fix my reverse proxy and could not get it to work. The "Propagation Seconds" change was an absolute saver! Thanks!
This worked great on putting https secure connection locally on my new Raspberry Pi 5 running CasaOS! I just had to do a few modification on the ports and IP addresses but everything worked correctly at the end! Thanks! 👍
you skipped the cloudflare api token, but with some extensive google search i found that you need to create your own API token with edit dns zones permissions set to all zones
Pretty awesome and relatively easy to setup! One issue I noticed is that Safari password autofill treats everything under the proxy as the same site... meaning it will suggest passwords for services with different hostnames. This can get a bit unwieldy if you have a lot of services with their own username/passwords.
This is pretty nifty. I guess the logical next step is to setup and use a VPN, so that these url's can resove for devices on VPN when outside of LAN. As well as setup Dashy / Homer for all the services.
ATTENTION, small mkstame. If your service is on the local host of your Docker host, outside a Docker container, 127.0.0.1 will NOT reach that service, it will have the proxy container contact itself. You will have to either use the special ip or hostname for Docker local host addressing, or use the external network interface ip.
@@justintongol7581 in terms of the CloudFlare cert? I just setup all my dns records through cloudflare and set them to proxied. Then I generated a cloudflare origin cert and imported them into npm. I also set my encryption on cloudflare to strict mode.
Hey, very nice video, but i got an issue, i already use the nginx proxy manager in combination with a domain and cloudflare to expose some stuff to the outside world. is it also possible to use the same nginx pm and domain for the local ssl stuff?
I did not known Nginx Proxy Manager, I'll give it a try tonight to remove my Nginx and custom configurations (so I'll have to dockerize every app I use + maybe it's time to use Ansible to avoid making everything by hand haha). Thanks for the tutorial !
Works great on an Ubuntu VM instance running under proxmox. But I also like to torture myself trying to get these solutions to run under W11 > WSL2 > Docker > NPM, no luck so far no doubt some firewall issue. Thanks for the tutorial short and to the point.
Great video! holy sh man thank you so much! this is the only friggin thing i could get to work no matter what i did! It's probably because im stupid, but this video is smart 🧠 muchas gracias again.
I had to add a *wildcard domain in my Local router via unbound DNS. To be able to resolve the domain and subdomains locally still. But after that everything worked

Add portainer to this and you have an easy way to manage all your containers. :)
Easy it might be defently not efficient. Running shell commands is just faster then navigating around in an GUI to do the same thing.
@@electricz3045 This is where we come to the whole CLI vs GUI discussion again. The right answer is of course your personal preference!

It took me 10min to setup. It all works on a Raspberry Pi 5 ( Booting from NVMe, July 2024. ^^, )
This is an amazing video, thank you very much. SSL cert errors set me off. I followed this and it worked flawlessly. I think modified to use my Tailscale VPN IP addresses and now I can access my home lab services anywhere with a nice certificate, makes me happy. Time to touch grass, thanks again.
I'm only 1 min. 20 secs in the video and already hit the like button. I'm sure this will be better then my self signed certificates :)
This is what i have been searching for. Thanks for the super easy to follow video. Saved me lots of pain. Great work. Cheeeeeeeeers!
omg I was waiting for a tutorial using precisly docker and DuckDNS together and you just upload this perfect tutorial ! You save my time
Thank you Wolfgang for making this video. Very easy to follow.
I set up passbolt last night and have the problem you just solved in this video thank you
Thank you so much for this video, 1 thing I don't think anyone ran into is I had to wait almost a day for my registrar to reflect the IP changes. 🤦Now that I found you I'm going to look through your other video's Thanks again.
You are an absolute legend for this video! I've been trying to fix my reverse proxy and could not get it to work. The "Propagation Seconds" change was an absolute saver! Thanks!
i followed exact every step in the video and on the written tutorial but nothing works... maybe the tutorial is outdated
Same here
@WolfgangsChannel I'm running into this issue too. Did you have to install the cert on the host itself?
Thank you very much for this genius tipp ... !!!! You are the best !!!! Installed and works directly.
Danke Wolfgang, dank deiner Anleitung war die Einrichtung sehr einfach! :)
Thank you! I managed to get this working with AWS Route53. The only difference is that the wildcard record needs to also be an A record, not a CNAME.
you're a lifesaver
This worked great on putting https secure connection locally on my new Raspberry Pi 5 running CasaOS! I just had to do a few modification on the ports and IP addresses but everything worked correctly at the end! Thanks! 👍
This is useful, thanks. Waiting for my AML-S905X-CC and then I'll set this up.
you skipped the cloudflare api token, but with some extensive google search i found that you need to create your own API token with edit dns zones permissions set to all zones
You uploaded this video at a weirdly perfect time for me.
Pretty awesome and relatively easy to setup! One issue I noticed is that Safari password autofill treats everything under the proxy as the same site... meaning it will suggest passwords for services with different hostnames. This can get a bit unwieldy if you have a lot of services with their own username/passwords.
Thank you for the Tutorial. Very good. Just got through everything and it works great.
This is pretty nifty. I guess the logical next step is to setup and use a VPN, so that these url's can resove for devices on VPN when outside of LAN.
As well as setup Dashy / Homer for all the services.
ATTENTION, small mkstame. If your service is on the local host of your Docker host, outside a Docker container, 127.0.0.1 will NOT reach that service, it will have the proxy container contact itself. You will have to either use the special ip or hostname for Docker local host addressing, or use the external network interface ip.
are you telling me i have been messing with the config file all this time while this existed? well im glad i found this now lol
Great video. Got me up and running when I first set up npm. I changed to custom certs from Cloudflare, which last for 15 years though.
Hey man, I'm curious. How is yours setup?
@@justintongol7581 in terms of the CloudFlare cert? I just setup all my dns records through cloudflare and set them to proxied. Then I generated a cloudflare origin cert and imported them into npm. I also set my encryption on cloudflare to strict mode.
Wow - this is fantastically useful - many thanks - will be exploring more on your channel
Great tutorial. To the point. I have been looking for this for a while. Thanks. 😘
Hey, very nice video, but i got an issue, i already use the nginx proxy manager in combination with a domain and cloudflare to expose some stuff to the outside world.
is it also possible to use the same nginx pm and domain for the local ssl stuff?
Big thanks to this video! Finally I got it working!
Epic tutorial. Worked like a charm in a Raspberry Pi 4.
I did not known Nginx Proxy Manager, I'll give it a try tonight to remove my Nginx and custom configurations (so I'll have to dockerize every app I use + maybe it's time to use Ansible to avoid making everything by hand haha).
Thanks for the tutorial !
Works great on an Ubuntu VM instance running under proxmox. But I also like to torture myself trying to get these solutions to run under W11 > WSL2 > Docker > NPM, no luck so far no doubt some firewall issue. Thanks for the tutorial short and to the point.
Well... Exactly what I was looking for! Thank you
Great video! holy sh man thank you so much! this is the only friggin thing i could get to work no matter what i did! It's probably because im stupid, but this video is smart 🧠 muchas gracias again.
Great tutorial - worked like a charm!
you should paste all commands for making easy
exactly the issue i was pulling my hair out of a few weeks ago. Had no idea something like this existed, thanks man!
Please make a video on how to setup pihole as DNS server on docker...
I had to add a *wildcard domain in my Local router via unbound DNS. To be able to resolve the domain and subdomains locally still.
But after that everything worked
How did you do that?
