Hi,

i need help to setup remote acces to home assistant yellow via NginxProxyManager running in docker on an unraid server located in a different VLAN.

i have set up remote access to my unraid server, located on my main VLAN, over https using

• the tailscale plugin

• and NginxProxyManager (docker) app

• with a custom (sub)domain server.mydomain.com

following this tutorial from spaceinvader one: 3 Different Ways to Connect to Unraid over HTTPS .

I applied the third method and it is working in the sense that I can reach the server using my custom domain, but for some reason the connection still isn't secure. (Separate issue for which I will create a different topic)

Now i want to achieve the same for my home assistance instance, located on the IOT VLAN,

• running on a home assistant yellow

• with (sub)domain ha.mydomain.com.

I have tailscale set up on Home Assistant, so next is to configure NGINX.

I guess that next in the webgui of the NginxProxyManager app running i ndocker on my unraid server, i need to create a host and SSL certificate for ha.mydomain.com pointing to my home assistant yellow IP.

However my Home Assistant Yellow is located on the IOT VLAN (VLAN40), while my unraid server is located on my main VLAN (VLAN60), so this won't work out of the box.

How should i configure the NGINX docker app in unraid and which port forwarding should i do in my Unifi Router (USG PRO 4) to allow NGINX to 'see' my home assitant yellow on the different VLAN.

FYI, below are currently my configuration settings for the NginxProxyManager container.

title correction, correction of remote acces succes, forwarded port 80 to port 1880 on unraided server ip address

With help from the Home Assistant Community i got to the point that:

i created a DNS A record for ha.mydomain.com pointing to my unraid server's Tailscale IP. (hence same as for server.mydomain.com).

In NGINXProxymanager I created a proxy host pointing to http:[myhomeassistanyellowIP]:8123 , i also created a SSL certificate.

however when i surf to ha.mydomain.com, i do not land on the home assistant landing page, but on my unraid's server landing page.

Should i somehow use the IP address of the NGINXProxyManager container instead of my server, or why am i not redirected?

I got this problem solved with assistance from the Home Assistant Community;
