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 would keep octopi off the Internet (local network only). There’s too much risk that if somebody did get access they could heat your hot-end up to 300C and just leave it there or something… Setup a vpn if you want remote access to it.

        That’s fair - just wanted to put that out there in case you hadn’t considered it.

      You do not need to expose octoprint to the Internet when you use a reverse proxy. You can set it up to be local only or leave some services local only.
