Comment on Is it possible to run a reverse proxy only on a specific service or port?
FarraigePlaisteach@lemmy.world 1 month agoThank you so much. That clears up all my doubts. I’m running an ARM server ok the lan with port forwarding for HTTP (80) Gemini (1965) and SMB (not forwarded).

Gotcha, that makes more sense.
If you try to run the reverse proxy on the same server and port that an existing service is using (e.g., port 80), then you’ll run into issues. You could also run into conflicts with the ports the services themselves use. Likewise if you use the same outbound port from your router. But IME those issues will mostly stop the new services from starting - you’d have to stop the services or restart your machine for the new service to have a chance to grab the ports while they were unused. Otherwise I can’t think of any issues.

That’s reassuring. Thanks, I was struggling with the concept and where to start but I should be fine now since I’m handy enough with a terminal.
