Reverse Proxy

Post by phiku »

It would by nice, If QNAP could integrate an Reverse Proxy functionality in the GUI with the Apache or Ngnix- Webserver. For more flexibility in accessing the services outside the local network.

There are different ways and packages you canc already use for this: built-in apache, Qngix, Qapache, ngrok, Traefik and Browser Station. But all of them require some manual edit in the config files and given the endless possibility, a simple gui is not possible. It is not as simple as creating a virtual host.

However if you dig in this forum the are quite a few post detailing how to do so.

Yes, your're right. It's already possible by using existing packages but I would like to have a gui like synology has :)

I agree - I have dug around a bit trying to implement solutions but none seem to work as I would have expected. Can anyone recommend a full end to end generic solution that can then be applied for dockerised wordpress, openproject and nextcloud services via HTTPS?

Native support would be nice. What I did:
- Install lightweight debian server in virtualization station
- put nginx on it, gave it a static IP address
- made to autostart with qts

For https I used a lets encrypt wildcard certificate.

It works really reliable
