[SOLVED] ELI5: How to put several servers on one external IP? (lemmy.today)

I'm pretty new to selfhosting and homelabs, and I would appreciate a simple-worded explanation here. Details are always welcome!

So, I have a home network with a dynamic external IP address. I already have my Synology NAS exposed to the Internet with DDNS - this was done using the interface, so didn't require much technical knowledge.

Now, I would like to add another server (currently testing with Raspberry Pi) in the same LAN that would also be externally reachable, either through a subdomain (preferable), or through specific ports. How do I go about it?

P.S. Apparently, what I've tried on the router does work, it's just that my NAS was sitting in the DMZ. Now it works!

Looks like you got it! Congrats.

Or he just uses a reverse proxy like nginx. So all can be hosted behind the same port (443)

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I would use Caddy or something else that is less complex to setup

[–] melroy@kbin.melroy.org 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah Caddy is also a great option.

Something we didn't had a decade ago. Then the most likely approach was either apache or nginx.

Not yet, but want to figure it out properly.
