I’m happily serving a few websites and services publicly. Now I would like to host my Navidrome server, but keep the contents private on the web to stay out of trouble. I’m afraid that when I install a reverse proxy, it’ll take my other stuff online offline and causes me various headaches that I’m not really in the headspace for at the moment. Is there a safe way to go about doing this selectively?
That’s the standard behavior. Read the documentation for whatever reverse proxy you want to use.
The standard is that everything gets captured by the proxy? I want to leave the HTTP and Gemini servers public. I also want those and SMB to remain accessible on the LAN.
No, the standard is that it routes only what you configure.
Wonderful. Thank you!
A typical use case is to forward a single port to the proxy, then set the proxy to map different subdomains to different machines/ports on your internal network. Anything not explicitly mapped by the reverse proxy isn’t visible externally.
I just don’t put the ports on the proxy config.
So those ports that I don’t put in the config remain publicly accessible? That would be perfect.
The ports you don’t put in are not publicly routed.
I use NPM and only have 3 services routed outside my network.
How are you currently serving publicly?
Linux running HTTP and Gemini servers. This is fine from home using port forwarding and afraid.org’s dynamic DNS.
