Self hosting with subdomains (jackdavies.github.io)

I created a short tutorial on using sub domains to access services hosted within my home network, thought I would share it here in case anyone finds it useful

This is the first time I've made a technical tutorial so apologise if there are mistakes/its confusing, feedback will be appreciated

Not positive, but I think you left in a reference to real info (twilightparadox.com) instead of "example-fying" it (mydomain.com), in the paragraph just before section 4:

For example say I have home-assistant running on a Pi with the local address 192.168.0.11, I could create a subdomain named ha that has the value mysub.twilightparadox.com then create the following nginx config
server{
	listen 80;
	server_name ha.mydomain.com;
	resolver 192.168.0.1;
	location / {
		proxy_pass http://192.168.0.11/;
	}
}
When nginx sees a request for ha.mydomain.com it passes it to the address 192.168.0.11 port 80.

I'm not sure which reference you are referring to, twilightparadox.com is a domain on the dynamic DNS service, mysub is also an example

Section 1 says you're using freedns.afraid.org though.

[–] JackDavies@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

freedns.afraid.org is the site you use to manage the dynamic DNS twilightparadox is the default free option for creation DNS records on that comes so I used that as an example
