I have an openwrt router at home which also acts as my home server. It's running a bunch of services using docker (Jellyfin, Nextcloud, etc.)

I have set up an SSH tunnel between my openwrt router and VPS and can access jellyfin successfully.

I understand that I need to set up a reverse proxy to access multiple services and have https.

But I'm confused if I should set up this reverse proxy on the VPS or on the router itself. Is nginx the easiest option? Should i add subdomains in cloudflare for every service?

Pease don't recommend vpns since they are all blocked where i live (wireguard, tailscale openVPN, etc.) I'm limited to using ssh tunneling only.

Thanks

Thanks I understand the theory behind this but I can't get it to work.

I have a jellyfin.mydomain.com subdomain pointing at my VPS ip. On my home server I have Nginx Proxy Manager listening to 192.168.8.1:8998 (http) and 8999 (https) From my home server I forward port 80 from the VPS to local port 8999 like this:

ssh -R 80:127.0.0.1:8998 root@vps-ip

Then on npm I define a proxy to localhost:8096 (jellyfin) for any traffic sent to jellyfinn.mydomain.com.

But I can't access jellyfin remotely.

Check all the steps individually then:

check that the ip resolves to the VPS IP at the location you're testing this
set up the tunnel to bypass the proxy (connect it directly to jellyfin)
check that jellyfin works directly
check the proxy directly, with curl connected to the proxy with the header "Host" set to the domain
check that the VPS firewall didn't block port 80
normally you wouldn't be able to forward port 80 with a normal ssh user but I see you're logging in as root so it should be working
