I need help figuring out where I am going wrong or being an idiot, if people could point out where…

I have a server running Debian 12 and various docker images (Jellyfin, Home Assistant, etc…) controlled by portainer.

A consumer router assigns static Ip addresses by MAC address. The router lets me define the IP address of a primary/secondary DNS. The router registers itself with DynDNS.

I want to make this remotely accessible.

From what I have read I need to setup a reverse proxy, I have tried to follow various guides to give my server a cert for the reverse proxy but it always fails.

I figure the server needs the dyndns address to point at it but I the scripts pick up the internal IP.

How are people solving this?

    I have two servers (and different other machines) on two different LANs joined by a wireguard tunnel between the routers, with DynDNS running on both, and wireguard on all mobile devices that need access to the LAN.

    If your router can natively run wireguard, I’d highly recommended. It just works. Or just use tailscale, it’s wireguard for lazy people
