Hello, all. I'll start this post off with - this is a test. :P I have the same topic posted at /r/... seeing if I get any l<3ve over here!!! I hope so!!! LemmyNet for the WiN!
I have two domains that I pay for... lets call them domain1.com and domain2.com.
I'm running a Bitwarden docker container that uses nginx to serve the website... its address is bitwarden.domain1.com .
I'm running a HUGO website with Apache2... its address is domain2.com .
I have one local IP address; currently, I forward ports 80 & 443 to the local IP of the Bitwarden VM.
So... thats my issue; I don't understand how to forward these two different services to the domains that I want them on... I've read about Apache2's vhosts - but the websites are on different VMs, and the Bitwarden docker container uses nginx.
I've thought about condensing and putting both services in one VM; but theres still the apache2/nginx issue. I've heard someone mention I should use a third VM to route the traffic to the correct local IPs - but I don't know what software I'd use.
I've thought about using a Cloudflare tunnel for one of those services; but I don't really want to pay, and aren't sure how fast a free Cloudflare tunnel would be - this might be a solution for the Bitwarden service, as I'm the only one accessing it...
Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm sure I'm just novice enough that I don't see the obvious solution - and I'd love to get both sites up and running. Thanks for any input or help!!!

Thanks for the three replies so far; BTW, Lemmy is beating out /r/eddit on this thread!!! :P
Yea, I know that I'm needing a reverse proxy - it was just how to implement one since the two sites aren't using the same host software; apache2 and nginx... so I think I should run a 3rd VM and route the traffic out to the other 2 local IPs; OR condense the two sites into one VM - which I don't really want to do...
Or, maybe I pick a [free, paid if needed] Cloudflare tunnel for the lesser used site - and only have to forward to one VM from my IP.
I guess one more solution would be switching the apache2 over to nginx - can I route to a separate local IP from nginx reverse proxies??? Will research...
Thanks for thinking this thru with me - and I'll keep checking back for other suggestions. :P Appreciated!
I'll give you an example of my setup.
Every server has it's own instance of Nginx Proxy Manager (not needed, but helps with using docker networking), then every service I run on docker, I just use docker networks to talk to the rproxy.
My network is designed such that all my externally available services are on one server, so I just forward 80 & 443 to that.
For every other service (not on docker), I just use 127.0.0.1 + port.
For services on other servers on my LAN, I use Internal IP + port.
Understood ; I run all my services on different Proxmox VMs/containers... this isn't usually an issue until two needed the same 80/443 ports... I suppose I could change the ports for my Bitwarden, as I'm the only user connecting [aside from a partner or 2...] and I could modify the links used to connect accordingly.
I feel like I'm missing some EASY thing; like can't my apache2 just route the bitwarden.domain1.com traffic to another local IP address...
All these replies are helping - I just gotta pick the solution and GO; just trying to find the easiest, best solution.. :P
Yes. It can. https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/vhosts/name-based.html
Thankyou for the link - I'm good at Linux stuff w/ the right info - trust me, I've tried to find this data... :P
Appreciate yer help!
