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.

Cloudflare tunnel is the simple answer here. Yourdomain.com points to the public instance, private.yourdomain.com points to the private instance. All you need to do is install cloudflared on any always on machine on your network and point the URLs to the internal IPs of the machines hosting the services.

The other suggestions here are fine but Cloudflare is the easiest solution to what you want plus it’s free and simple to setup and maintain.
