Ports and Server Accessibility

[ChrisNAS]

Hello,

I currently have FN 11 with two servers on it.

• FreeBSD setup using jails gui and used as a webserver with nextcloud on it
  
• Ubuntu setup using iohyve to run a Collabora Docker container

I made the nextcloud web accessible by pointing the A record of a subdomain on my hosted domain (https://cloud.mydomain.com) to my wan ip. Then on my router I forward port 443 to the ip of the jail. That all works.

However, since I've added the second server which also needs to be accessible on 443 (https://office.mydomain.com) ... I now have a problem of 1 port and 2 servers.

Unfortunately, 443 is the only port I can use since my ISP blocks 80, and using URLs with :port is not a good option.

How is this problem best handled with a FN box? Install something like DNSMasq on FN?

I would greatly appreciate your input.

Thank you

In case it helps someone, I ended up using reverse proxy in the webserver config to make the other server also accessible. This also works with lets encrypt on both domains.

Correct, this is how you do it. Nginx works wonderfully for this.
