It's all about the money, baby.

I think its broken... or crumbling from the 10s of us trying to load page .P

Ok; I'll take a peek... but I'm really feeling the LemmyNet vibe. That being said, I haven't used friendica so I'll drop by and have a l00k.

Alright, I wanted to come back now that my setup is complete... special thanks to those of you who suggested nginx-proxy-manager - its very nicely put together and really makes reverse proxies a breeze...

Long story short, I just created a brand new VM... started with the proxy manager and built on top of that. Next up was my static Hugo website; it was too easy to point change Apache2's ports.conf to 8097 instead of 80, and use nginx-proxy-manager for the SSL certs... that one was basically plug and play.

The Bitwarden bit was a bit more involved, but not too bad... at first I just redirected traffic to the original (other machine) Bitwarden VM - but no one wants an extra VM to backup and support... so I went with a fork Docker of bitwarden_rs/vaultmaster - it comes w/ e-mail setup in the container, so one less thing to worry about... I had to swap around some docker-compose.yml ports and just point nginx-proxy-manager at it... this time, tho, I used the SSL certs from the docker; I didn't wanna dig in and remove what they already had running.

In the middle I was still fighting with myself and not taking ya'lls good suggestions - I tried to go the Cloudflared route; which is a cool service... but you can't tunnel root domains unless you're a paid user. Cloudflared tunnels would be great for exposing the Plex, TrueNAS, etc's of the world... but I didn't NEED/want subnets.

Thanks to the Beehaw community... TechHeart.life is up and running. :P (Don't worry, the Bitwarden is on a private domain. Phhhbbbbtttt.)

They cut last admins regulations back on week 1.

So do I; we should be allowing both fossil and green.

Same.

Yes.

Everyone here is awesome for ALL the replies. :P Thank you!!

I decided to try a Cloudflared tunnel, but that didn't work out because I can't get the main domain1.com domain to go thru the tunnel... only 'apps', like blog.domain1.com. :P

And, I'm still ironing out how to pass nginx to another local IP on my network; I just haven't gotten it to click yet. All the info needed is right here - I promise to come back when I iron out the setup and post how I managed to do it...

I can figure out how to pass nginx [or apache2, for that matter] to another PORT on the same local IP - I think I have both domains listening on ports 80/443 - and I'll have to change that in order to route the data correctly... let alone getting out to another local IP.

Again appreciate all the info - sometimes I just have to learn a bit more since I have all the documents right here. :P

So... I'm from Texas [living in OR..] and an entire industry was cut in half because of this admins cutback in oil - while some of this admins work might have saved you money and allowed you to build your personal infrastructure in a direction you agree with, the people of Midland and Odessa Texas lost 50% overnight.

And, all the workers who flocked and prospered are gone with no oil jobs to go back to.

Yes, we disagree with a lot - the addition of the heavy spying requirements by automakers was introduced since Biden, and while I support supporting Ukraine I think we're in way too deep already.

I agree, though - no one administration is perfect... I think that Biden is, literally, just not capable of performing at the level a POTUS needs to. Let alone that I think he already can't, I think he should allow some other dem that would be viewed a lot stronger - is there any world where you really think Biden can go another 5 years?

I'm still learning the what Lemmy devs are trying to do... I'm intrigued.

Whether you agree with the things he accomplished or not, he literally hit the ground running; slashing and smashing away the things he wanted to do in his presidency - I can't think of one [good] thing that BIden, or his entire administration, has done for two years. The infrastructure bill, with what it has hidden away, is the worst thing that could happen to the US IMO.

The control and oversight via government that it has baked in is simply disgusting. Vehicle BAC detection - gotta sniff between the cracks... errr wait, maybe thats a bad euphemism.

Agreed - I don't think I've been on a Tornado BBS software; but I still code in Mystic BBS's PASCAL-like MPL language. :P

damnit! :P

Hold my beer! LEMMINGS

I wasn't a fan of his personality - but hate to say that I think he did a better job than the current admin. IMO Biden needs to hurry up and make the right decision; to not run for POTUS in whatever way he wants to choose... he needs to pick some young rockstar that could keep the position w/ democrats. I don't think Biden will do that - and while I understand what yer saying about Trump maybe losing some love from his supporters - but theres gonna be a lot of middle-lefters who are fed up w/ the left... IMO.

I think if Biden runs that we'll have another 4/8 years of Trump.

I only know enough code to break things, but I wouldn't mind working on some documentation - I'll go read what Lemmy needs; thanks for reminding me that anyone can chip in.

Heck yea, I am a retro enthusiast. I currently have a PiBoy DMG running emulation staion and a customized version of Raspberry Pi OS w/ joycon and buttons mapped to a mouse emulation - its a nice form factor for having a portable Linux-box in the field... I still get looks when I whip out a 'gameboy' to do some actual work. :P

I stick to mostly 8bit and 16bit platforms, so the Pi 4 is more than enough for me...

I also have a few retro computer setups; of course, a C=128 for all my Commodore needs - an Apple g4 basketball w/ MacOS 9 - an antique Philco Predicta television that runs both some Python script for random vintage videos, and can serve up PONG - I retrofitted an old PONG controller w/ a Pi Pico so it feels right.

I have a couple other machines that bring me back to the 486 MS-DOS days. :P

Nice to know theres other folks that are into this hobby - cheers!

Are you kidding? Well... I don't mean that in an adversary way - but... while I don't support either of these candidates, I think that if it ends up being Biden against Trump that Trump is going to steamroll the office again - I don't even think it would be close!

LOL... it'll be easy, I tell ya!

So I dove in this afternoon, thinking I had all the info I needed to easily get a setup w0rking... I changed my port forwards to the domain2.com machine - the one running apache2 on a webiste; leaving the bitwarden.domain1.com not seeing traffic. Then, I created a new virtual host file on the domain2.com machine;

cat bitwarden.domain1.com.conf

<VirtualHost *:80>

    ServerName bitwarden.domain1.com

    ProxyPass / http://10.0.0.155/ nocanon

    ProxyPassReverse / http://10.0.0.155/

    ServerAdmin [email protected]

ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log

CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} =bitwarden.domain1.com

RewriteRule ^ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [END,NE,R=permanent]

</VirtualHost>

And ran certbot to get https certs - certification would only be on the domain2.com machine; all proxied data would be sent over http, but I figured that was OK as its just me accessing the domain1.com service.

BUT alas, the setup didn't work; I have some suspicions... bitwarden is running inside a docker container, so... I dunno if that has something to do with how its listening, and its running nginx; what I thought was that apache2 would simply send all traffic from the bitwarden.domain1.com domain over to my local IP 10.0.0.155 machine and that machine would just pick it up simple pimple and display to the user going to that domain. Another thought - maybe its because Docker/Bitwarden HAS https in that container - ohhhh, thats a thought; however it still didn't function correctly before I ran certbot on the domain2.com setup.

UGH... more to come - I'm trying options. :/ Grrrrrr. :P

PS; posting code in Lemmy doesn't work so great, does it? I used a backtick but didn't get the results I'm accustomed to...

Thanks so much for the reply; others have mentioned the same, or similar, but your response spelled it out... I knew this was what I needed to do [scenerio 2] but I just didn't have experience with setting up the proxy - I'm technical enough to RTFM and will get this setup today; one thing that was kinda fudging me up was that my Bitwarden machine, where the domain currenty forwards to, runs in a docker container - so I think I'll actually forward the OTHER domain to the 'lemmy' [although its not lemmy, just using your example as the reference..] machine that's just an Ubuntu server running apache2 for serving the website - and I'll probably end up using Apache's Name Based Virtual Host Support instead of your nginx-proxy suggestion - either way, I think its accomplishing the same.

Appreciate your, and all the other, replies - this thread literally performed better than on the /r/ platform! I'm sold on LemmyNet!

Xibalba is actually the WHQ BBS for Enigma 1/2 BBS software... I agree w/ you that Enigma.5 is super rad - in fact, NuSkooler had been working on some integration w/ Mastodon altho I don't think that feature has made it to the codebase just yet...

ENiGMA.5 Github

And the docs...
