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

    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.

      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.

      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.
