Hello, @amirulandalib . First off, we need some context what you want to do. We can't help you if we don't know your goal. Can you explain it to us? (example: I want to expose Homarr to XYZ using XYZ)

Deleted UserOP•2y ago

sure i want to expose homarr to the domain radarr.amirulandalib.eu.org by default i am running homarr on docker on port 4426 now it is 0.0.0.0:4426

Manicraft1001•2y ago

In this case, you only need a simple proxy host with certificate then Setup with Homarr will be no different compared to your other services

Deleted UserOP•2y ago

huh? i want to configure nginx with homarr and other apps which will be redirected with homarr and ask for authentication eg: homarr.amirulandalib.eu.org/qbittorrent/ homarr.amirulandalib.eu.org/plex homarr.amirulandalib.eu.org/radarr etc i can manage certificate but how to configure with nginx if you kindly guide me nginx currently running on port 80

Manicraft1001•2y ago

But you didn't tell me that before 😅 If you want authentication, you can either use the password environment variable of Homarr or use an authentication proxy like Authelia So you want me to tell you, how you need to configure your proxy, so you can host your Homarr unrelated apps?

Deleted UserOP•2y ago

no no how to configure like this . the homepage is homarr.amirulandalib.eu.org other apps from the dashboard when tapped on eg qbittorrent will go to homarr.amirulandalib.eu.org/qbittorrent

Manicraft1001•2y ago

Ok. So when homarr.amirulandalib.eu.org is already going to Homarr, then you need to overwrite your desired routes. Example:

server {
  ...
  location /qbittorrent {
    ...
  }
  location /plex {
    ...
  }
}

server {
  ...
  location /qbittorrent {
    ...
  }
  location /plex {
    ...
  }
}

So homarr.amirulandalib.eu.org/qbittorrent will trigger the location selector and homarr.amirulandalib.eu.org/plex will trigger the second selector

Deleted UserOP•2y ago

but how to put homarr to the config i just told you my plan but dont know how to put it to conf

Manicraft1001•2y ago

If homarr.amirulandalib.eu.org should go to Homarr, then your location is / Example:

// this is your Homarr
location / {

}

// this is your Homarr
location / {

}

Deleted UserOP•2y ago

i have to port local server ip and port for redirection i can share you ssh conn

Manicraft1001•2y ago

No. Never do that

Deleted UserOP•2y ago

need help dude i suffered a lot from swizzin

Manicraft1001•2y ago

You seem to lack general knowledge about reverse proxies. I'd recommend you to read a guide for initial configuration. I think you're asking for proxy_pass, but I'm not sure. Also note, that authentication will make your setup more complex and requires some additional knowledge You can use proxy_pass like this: proxy_pass 192.168.5.XXX

http://150.136.251.212:8081/ (currently it is like this)

sudo nano /etc/nginx/apps/qbittorrent-vpn.conf
# /etc/nginx/apps/qbittorrent-vpn.conf

location /qbittorrentvpn {
    return 301 /qbittorrentvpn/;
}

location /qbittorrentvpn/ {
    proxy_pass              http://127.0.0.1:8080;
    proxy_http_version      1.1;
    proxy_set_header        X-Forwarded-Host        $http_host;
    http2_push_preload on; # Enable http2 push
    auth_basic "What's the password?";
    auth_basic_user_file /etc/htpasswd.d/htpasswd.yourusername;
    rewrite ^/qbittorrentvpn/(.*) /$1 break;
    proxy_cookie_path / "/qbittorrentvpn/; Secure";
}

sudo nano /etc/nginx/apps/qbittorrent-vpn.conf
# /etc/nginx/apps/qbittorrent-vpn.conf

location /qbittorrentvpn {
    return 301 /qbittorrentvpn/;
}

location /qbittorrentvpn/ {
    proxy_pass              http://127.0.0.1:8080;
    proxy_http_version      1.1;
    proxy_set_header        X-Forwarded-Host        $http_host;
    http2_push_preload on; # Enable http2 push
    auth_basic "What's the password?";
    auth_basic_user_file /etc/htpasswd.d/htpasswd.yourusername;
    rewrite ^/qbittorrentvpn/(.*) /$1 break;
    proxy_cookie_path / "/qbittorrentvpn/; Secure";
}

Manicraft1001•2y ago

Then you need proxy_pass http://150.136.251.212:8081/

@manicraft1001

Manicraft1001•2y ago

If we go of this configuration, you simply add

location / {
  proxy_pass http://150.136.251.212:8081/
  proxy_http_version      1.1;
  proxy_set_header        X-Forwarded-Host        $http_host;
}

location / {
  proxy_pass http://150.136.251.212:8081/
  proxy_http_version      1.1;
  proxy_set_header        X-Forwarded-Host        $http_host;
}

Deleted UserOP•2y ago

something like this for homarr .

Manicraft1001•2y ago

Yes. I saw your link If you look at the configuration there, it is even documented what I just told you

Deleted UserOP•2y ago

what about asking for basic auth credentials when directly accessing

Manicraft1001•2y ago

There is even configuration for Authelia Look at the config you sent me 2 minutes ago. Basic Auth is already present there for other routes

Deleted UserOP•2y ago

this is copypasted from swizzin docs i dont have much knowledge about nginx

Manicraft1001•2y ago

Manicraft1001•2y ago

It is clearly documented there with easy and quick explanation what you need to do Instead of doing it for /api though, do it for /

Deleted UserOP•2y ago

i still dont get it 😦 sorry 1st step is to configure to route 0.0.0.0:8081 to homarr.amirulandalib.eu.org with nginx

Manicraft1001•2y ago

What do you not get? Creating a file doesn't seem like a hard task

Deleted UserOP•2y ago

to which dir

/etc/nginx/apps

/etc/nginx/apps

?

Manicraft1001•2y ago

Whatever dir you like. The file will simply store your credentials If you use docker, it's advised that you use a mounted directory - otherwise, you'll loose your passwords after a restart

Deleted UserOP•2y ago

not docker

Manicraft1001•2y ago

Then, simply create it where you normally create such files?

Deleted UserOP•2y ago

aight let me try

Manicraft1001•2y ago

You seem to lack quite basic knowledge about some important stuff. Perhaps it would make sense to choose a more basic and easy approach? Running nginx directly can be quite demanding. Have you heard of https://nginxproxymanager.com/ ? It uses nginx under the hood but it offers a comprehensive web interface for configuration and is much easier to use, if you don't know nginx.

Nginx Proxy Manager

Docker container and built in Web Application for managing Nginx proxy hosts with a simple, powerful interface, providing free SSL support via Let's Encrypt

Manicraft1001•2y ago

It is important to understand what's going on and how your actions affect your system. Nginx can have a steep learning curve for some and maybe this would be better for you?

Deleted UserOP•2y ago

thanks

Manicraft1001•2y ago

btw, this is an example config for what you've requested:

location / {
  proxy_pass http://150.136.251.212:8081/
  proxy_http_version      1.1;
  proxy_set_header        X-Forwarded-Host        $http_host;
  auth_basic:             "Enter the password";
  auth_basic_user_file    /mnt/user/appdata/nginx/homarr/htpasswd;
}

location / {
  proxy_pass http://150.136.251.212:8081/
  proxy_http_version      1.1;
  proxy_set_header        X-Forwarded-Host        $http_host;
  auth_basic:             "Enter the password";
  auth_basic_user_file    /mnt/user/appdata/nginx/homarr/htpasswd;
}

I hope this clears it up a bit. I highly recommend you to watch / read a few basic tutorials about Nginx so you understand what's going on.

Deleted UserOP•2y ago

thanks a lot for now i exposed the ip http://150.136.251.212:8081/ but it will be

127.0.0.1:8081

127.0.0.1:8081

then it will redirect to http://150.136.251.212 right? then i will add A name to cloudflares connected domain and use letsencrypt

Manicraft1001•2y ago

If Homarr is running on the same machine as Nginx and runs on port 8081, yes.

Deleted UserOP•2y ago

yep same machine shall i remove nginx from local

Manicraft1001•2y ago

local?

Deleted UserOP•2y ago

yes apt remove nginx -y ? then run the nginx manager on docker compose?

Manicraft1001•2y ago

Uhmm I'm not sure about removing Nginx

Deleted UserOP•2y ago

ok lemme test

Manicraft1001•2y ago

Just adhere to the documentation There should be an uninstallation guide as well Yes, sounds good

Deleted UserOP•2y ago

ok @manicraft1001 u there?

Manicraft1001•2y ago

Yes?

Deleted UserOP•2y ago

i am having a small prob

Deleted UserOP•2y ago

Deleted UserOP•2y ago

it doesnt work tried the followings bruh i am tired

Manicraft1001•2y ago

- Your IP is probably incorrect. You told me that Homarr is running on http://150.136.251.212:8081/ but you have an entire different subnet there. - I'm not sure how Nginx Proxy Manager will react to IPs in your "Domain names" field. I'd recommend to do some research there

Deleted UserOP•2y ago

that is external public ip i am using interal ip

Deleted UserOP•2y ago

Manicraft1001•2y ago

Bad Gateway generally means, that the proxy cannot proxy your request to the target, because the target is either invalid or rejects your request You need to figure this out yourself. This has nothing to do anymore with Homarr 🙂 Just don't give up. Networking can often be quite tiring but it will be worth the effort!

Deleted UserOP•2y ago

bruh how many ips will i try 0.0.0.0 localhost internal ip 127.0.0.1 whatelse?

Manicraft1001•2y ago

You probably should avoid 127.0.0.1 I don't know Oracle - I never had good experience with their products Are you using virtual networks?

Deleted UserOP•2y ago

its nothing to do with oracle vcn?

Manicraft1001•2y ago

Probably not. I'm just saying that I have no experience with it lol

Deleted UserOP•2y ago

since its a docker to docker app

Deleted UserOP•2y ago

Deleted UserOP•2y ago

help plsssss lol even tried nmap and tuln same shit

Deleted UserOP•2y ago

Deleted UserOP•2y ago

ports and open and working

Manicraft1001•2y ago

I told you already, that I will not help you with networking. For a proper investigation, there is too much context missing. Please try to investigate the problem yourself. This server only focuses on support for our product - Homarr. If you have any questions about proxies, that relate with Homarr, I'll do my best to help you out.

Deleted UserOP•2y ago

anyone pro here? lol what a funny thing

Manicraft1001•2y ago

?

Deleted UserOP•2y ago

Deleted UserOP•2y ago

this was hard to find atleast works now it looks for docker names to connect to ports lmao

Manicraft1001•2y ago

Yes, this works as long as Docker runs on the same machine as the proxy

Deleted UserOP•2y ago

is this ok @manicraft1001

Deleted UserOP•2y ago

Manicraft1001•2y ago

How should I know??

Deleted UserOP•2y ago

i mean for routing through i will use this option right?
