I thought it would be easy enough to run a reverse proxy on my home server to access a local website using https. Oh boy was I wrong.

@YurkshireLad nginx proxy manager worked well for me to do this. But I also do the same thing manually with nginx and letsencrypt on a vps too.

@heysteve maybe I’ll try Nginx manager. It’s for a local network, not a VPS. Https might be overkill for a server on my home network but I wanted to get https working.

@YurkshireLad right. I use the proxy manager on my local homelab. Makes life easier having real TLS certs.

@heysteve I got it working using nginx proxy manager within 10 minutes. Wow! Thanks for mentioning it.
