Hosting multiple services with one IP address. (piefed.social)

Hello people, I recently rented a vps server from OVH and I want to start hosting my own piefed instance and a couple other services. I am running debian 13 with docker, and I have nginx proxy manager almost set up. I want to set up subdomains so when I do social.my.domain it will go to my piefed instance, but how do I tell the machine to send piefed traffic to this subdomain and joplin traffic (for example) to another domain? Can I use nginx/docker natively for that or do I have to install another program. Thanks for the advice.

You don't send traffic to domains. You point all the domains to one host, and on that host, set up a reverse proxy like nginx, caddy, or traefik, and then configure HTTP routing rules. That proxy can run in docker. I use traefik and it does all the routing automatically once I add labels to my docker-compose file.
