NPM + Docker Containers = 502 Bad Gateway
After my [previous post here](https://kbin.social/m/selfhosted@lemmy.world/t/80399/Looking-For-Opinions-on-Docker-Letsencrypt-Reverse-Proxy-Setup) looking for input on an easily maintained docker and reverse proxy setup, I opted to go for NPM. I also moved my domain registration and DNS from Google Domains to Cloudflare. It was a breeze to set up for the most part, I did have some pain getting my certs in order - NPM easily pulled down certs from LetsEncrypt, but Cloudflare didn't like it unless I used their 15-year origin server cert, which worked perfectly. I set up Portainer first, then wordpress and NPM. (I'm generally comfortable with command-line stuff, but I have much less experience with Docker so Portainer is great for someone like me.) I specified a network I created ("proxy") in the docker compose files, and that allowed me to use the container name in NPM to set up the proxy hosts. I quickly and easily set up proxy hosts for the main domain (points toward the WP container), a portainer subdomain pointing to the portainer container, and an NPM subdomain pointing to NPM. At this point things have been easy, everything is working beautifully, and I'm thinking about all the other things I want to eventually spin up and host. Then I started with FreshRSS. I was able to set it up - I could access it via the IP:port but no matter what I did, the subdomain gave me Cloudflare's 502 Bad Gateway error. I adjusted the BASE\_URL in the container, I've tried all sorts of settings in NPM - http, https, using different subdomains, different ports, etc (changing them in the docker compose as well of course) but no dice. I did some searching around and found a few examples like [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/freshrss/comments/ql7qcm/cannot_get_reverse_proxy_to_work/) and [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/freshrss/comments/10p90gj/freshrss_docker_nginx_proxy_manager_docker/) where I've seen others having similar issues and not being able to fix them. So I thought maybe it was some kind of weird issue with FreshRSS specifically, so I removed it and spun up Miniflux instead. Same as the previous time - I could access Miniflux perfectly well via the IP:port but the reverse proxy gives me a 502 every single time. The containers are on the same network. What am I missing with these? For reference, here's the docker compose for the miniflux stack: ``` services: miniflux: image: miniflux/miniflux:latest container_name: miniflux ports: - "8099:8080" depends_on: db: condition: service_healthy environment: - DATABASE_URL=postgres://miniflux:secret@db/miniflux?sslmode=disable - BASE_URL=[redacted] db: image: postgres:15 container_name: miniflux_db environment: - POSTGRES_USER=miniflux - POSTGRES_PASSWORD=secret volumes: - /media/config/miniflux:/var/lib/postgresql/data healthcheck: test: ["CMD", "pg_isready", "-U", "miniflux"] interval: 10s start_period: 30s networks: default: name: proxy ``` [Here is an example of the NPM setup.](https://i.imgur.com/RlcE9fS.png) Cloudflare is the access list I created that limits it to Cloudflare's IP ranges, and the site-wide origin cert is selected on the SSL tab, just like my other proxy entries which are currently working.

Looking For Opinions on Docker + Letsencrypt + Reverse Proxy Setup
I've been running 2 linodes for a number of years now - one has my website (wordpress) on it and one has a Foundry VTT server running. Both are separate linodes, and I use Google Domains to point [site.tld] to the wordpress VPS and foundry.[site.tld] to the other linode. For a few services I run at home within my own network (Sonarr, Lidarr, Plex, etc.) I've started to use Docker and Portainer, and I like how easy it is to set things up (and remove them if they don't work). I'd like to redo my VPS similarly - I'd like to have a single linode, as a Docker host, and have the main domain point to a Wordpress container, a subdomain point to a Foundry container, and be able to easily add other containers for something like freshrss, etc. My goal is to be able to quickly spin up a docker via a compose file (portainer would be preferred), have it automatically reach out to letsencrypt to get a cert for the relevant subdomain, and have that subdomain point to that docker container. I've been doing some searching around, and there seem to be a number of options, things like nginx reverse proxy, traefik, etc. and there are a lot of conflicting results. Does anyone here have an opinion on this or some advice as to what the best option to look into might be?
