Ockingshay Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 (edited) well it's not really hosting my website, although maybe at a later date i could have 1 page with a couple of links on it. What i would like is instead of using my static ip address : port, i would like to use a web address : port. The reason for this is that for dockers like ombi, for requesting plex stuff i have to remember the ip address when i give it out to friends. It would be even nicer to have www.domainname.com/ombi I know absolutely nothing about websites, so would anybody be able to give me a general gist of what i need to do. when i google for stuff, inevitably i have to use their tools and host it on their servers. 1) I guess the first thing to do is register a domain name 2) ? thanks ?

whipdancer Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 There are a whole host of other things you need to do. I assume the static IP is assigned to your router/modem? You need some way of telling your router to forward requests to the specific address where ombi available. You might check out SpaceInvader One's video channel on YouTube. He covers a lot of unRaid topics. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZDfnUn74N0WeAPvMqTOrtA Quote Link to comment
Ockingshay Posted August 2, 2018 Author Share Posted August 2, 2018 (edited) thanks for the link the static ip address is the one given to me by my ISP i think i actually just want a redirect from www.mydomain.com to externalstaticipaddress:port at the moment i give out the link that is like this: http://12.12.12.12:8000 but it would be nice if i could give out the link as something like this: http://www.mydomain.com/requests or even simply http://www.mydomain.com Edited August 2, 2018 by Ockingshay Quote Link to comment
