I am running a Proxmox node with a VM running a couple of Podman rootless containers, one of which is Jellyfin. I have also installed Traefik on a separate LXC unprivileged container. I have installed Tailscale on both the VM and the LXC.

What I want now is to create a reverse proxy so that I create subdomains pointing to my registered domain name, e.g. example.com.

I want when trying to access ‘jellyfin.example.com‘ the reverse proxy to point to the Tailscale IP or URL, for example ‘https://media.tbXXX.ts.net:8096‘. But that should work only when connected to the Tailscale network.

Is this even possible? If it is, can you point me to some resources explaining the whole configuration?

    Yes, I know that, but I just don’t want to remember the port numbers or create some bookmarks.

    I think I can create a CNAME record for *.media to point to the Tailscale address of the reverse proxy and then use the reverse proxy with Cloudflare API key to serve SSL certificates from my domain.

    I am currently struggling a bit with the setup though.

      This approach, but if you setup your server to advertise subnets you can use your local IP range instead of tailscale’s. Port numbers for individual services would be handled by your reverse proxy, you can setup a subdomain route for each service.

      Instead of having to keep track of bookmarks you can use something like homepage on the root of your domain, as a dashboard to navigate to all other services.
