I need help figuring out where I am going wrong or being an idiot, if people could point out where…
I have a server running Debian 12 and various docker images (Jellyfin, Home Assistant, etc…) controlled by portainer.
A consumer router assigns static Ip addresses by MAC address. The router lets me define the IP address of a primary/secondary DNS. The router registers itself with DynDNS.
I want to make this remotely accessible.
From what I have read I need to setup a reverse proxy, I have tried to follow various guides to give my server a cert for the reverse proxy but it always fails.
I figure the server needs the dyndns address to point at it but I the scripts pick up the internal IP.
How are people solving this?
My setup looks like the following:
/etc/wireguard/wg-vps.conf on the VPS ----------------------------------------------------- [Interface] Address = 10.8.0.2/24 ListenPort = 51820 PrivateKey = ******************************************** # packet forwarding PreUp = sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1 # port forwarding 80 and 443 PreUp = iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j DNAT --to-destination 10.8.0.1:80 PreUp = iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 443 -j DNAT --to-destination 10.8.0.1:443 PostDown = iptables -t nat -D PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j DNAT --to-destination 10.8.0.1:80 PostDown = iptables -t nat -D PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 443 -j DNAT --to-destination 10.8.0.1:443 # packet masquerading PreUp = iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o wg-vps -j MASQUERADE PostDown = iptables -t nat -D POSTROUTING -o wg-vps -j MASQUERADE [Peer] PublicKey = ******************************************** AllowedIPs = 10.8.0.1
/etc/wireguard/wg-vps.conf on my home-server --------------------------------------------------------------- [Interface] Address = 10.8.0.1/24 PrivateKey = ******************************************** [Peer] PublicKey = ******************************************** AllowedIPs = 10.8.0.2 Endpoint = <VPS-DDNS>:51820 PersistentKeepAlive = 25
Now, just enable the tunnel using
sudo systemctl enable --now wg-quick@wg-vps
. Make sure that the port 51820, 80, and 443 are open on the VPS. Now, allow 80, 443 through the firewall on the home-server (not on the router, just allow it locally), and it should work.Thanks so much! Hopefully I’ll be giving this a try soon.
