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)

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

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

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

But you didn't tell me that before ๐Ÿ˜… 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 Userโ€ข2y 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
Manicraft1001โ€ข2y 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

but how to put homarr to the config i just told you my plan but dont know how to put it to conf
Manicraft1001
Manicraft1001โ€ข2y 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 / {

}

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;

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/ {

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;
}

something like this for homarr .
Manicraft1001
Manicraft1001โ€ข2y ago
Yes. I saw your link If you look at the configuration there, it is even documented what I just told you
Deleted User
Deleted Userโ€ข2y ago
what about asking for basic auth credentials when directly accessing
Manicraft1001
Manicraft1001โ€ข2y 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

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

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 /

i still dont get it ๐Ÿ˜ฆ sorry 1st step is to configure to route 0.0.0.0:8081 to homarr.amirulandalib.eu.org with nginx

What do you not get? Creating a file doesn't seem like a hard task
Deleted User
Deleted Userโ€ข2y ago
to which dir
/etc/nginx/apps
/etc/nginx/apps
?
Manicraft1001
Manicraft1001โ€ข2y 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 User
Deleted Userโ€ข2y ago
not docker
Manicraft1001
Manicraft1001โ€ข2y ago
Then, simply create it where you normally create such files?

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
Manicraft1001โ€ข2y 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?

thanks
Manicraft1001
Manicraft1001โ€ข2y 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.

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

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

yep same machine shall i remove nginx from local

- 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

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 ๐Ÿ™‚ Just don't give up. Networking can often be quite tiring but it will be worth the effort!

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

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?

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.
