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?

Mhh I don’t know if I can help you too much. I initially followed spaceinvader ones tutorials for my unraid machine. But with time I changed from swag to nginx proxy manager. And I changed from using a duckdns docker to a router based dyndns tracker. But honestly I don’t remember too much from the process I currently try to switch domain but just can’t get them to work :D so I am in a smilar spot like you.
