As mentioned it’s a stupid question, it’s just all of this talk of Nginx got me confused that I need to have it on proxmox or everything will crumble

I have a noob question but seem overwhelmed with all the information I get about it. Basically, why do I need a reverse proxy if all my services are not public? Every guide or video for self hosting there’s always talk of a reverse proxy, have been doing it wrong?

Here’s my setup: I have proxmox running with LXC containers and VM’s for different services some have docker. I have HAProxy on PfSense with a wildcard cert. and the built-in dns resolver, and I vpn home every time I need something.

Have I be going about this the wrong way? Would I benefit from Nginx or traefik? Or is HAProxy enough? Sorry for the stupid question, I’m like a kid with a new toy and overwhelming myself.

yeah, it's just going to take a while to rebuild it but I don't mind. Reddit messed up big time I'm going back.

Since i'm just starting to get into home lab and self hosting I'll miss r/homelab, and r/homelabsales

Any of y'all have a NAS? What's your setup? by wfm in c/technology@beehaw.org

I got a DS920+ been using it for file storage, backups, plex, and running docker for all my arr's. Really like synology as an entry level, it got me to dig deeper and learn more. I'm behind a CGNAT, so setting up a VPN solution that would work was a pain on DSM. In the process of setting up my own homelab and building a truenas as I learn more about ZFS.
