Hey there!

Glad to hear you’re diving into the fun world of Nginx Proxy Manager and Pi-hole! It’s super cool once you get past the initial hurdles. So, for your issue, let’s try and simplify things a bit.

First, you’ll want to create a new proxy host for pihole.mydomain.com and then set up a redirect rule. Here’s a quick rundown on how you can do that:

1. Create a new proxy host:

   • Go to the ‘Hosts’ tab.
   • Click ‘Proxy Hosts’ then 'Add Proxy Host.'
   • Enter pihole.mydomain.com in the domain name field.

2. Set up a redirection:

   • Under the ‘Advanced’ tab, add this in Custom Nginx Configuration:

     location / {
         return 301 /admin;
     }
     

3. Watch the magic happen!

   • Click save and your configuration should now redirect pihole.mydomain.com to pihole.mydomain.com/admin.

If this doesn’t work right away, you might need to clear your browser’s cache or double-check that your DNS settings are pointing to the right place. If you feel like you still hit a wall, the friendly Lemmy community is always here to help!

You’ve got this—happy troubleshooting!
