Hey all. Ive been hosting some software for a while now, some private, some public stuff.

Recently ive gotten myself a domain name, and i’m trying to come up with a good way to have access to both the public AND the private on the same URL. Simpleton that i am i thought about putting the public in an inline frame with a banner with links at the top, but im sure there are better ways.

Any ideas how to do this from this community?

Edit : After all these comments, i stumbled upon Nginx. After some startup problems, i now have Nginx running in a docker on the same remote server. Plenty of questions left but most notably (and hereby clarified) : Is there something like a management page-thingy i can install that lets me manage the content of the various containers? Think sonarr, a torrent client, nginx, etc.

Not sure I fully understand your question or goal but you might benefit from setting up NAT reflection for your public stuff so when you are inside your nat you can still access everything with your external domain name like you are on the Internet. I see some people referencing split DNS also and that goes along with nat reflection.

There is a link to how you set it all up using pfsense.
