Hey everyone, asking here since I’ve been trying (and failing) at the numerous guides online. The end goal is so that I can have proper Let’s Encrypt certs for my self hosted servers to include VaultWarden (which will not work with self-signed or http) as well as have easy urls for myself and family to use.

So I am trying to setup my Porkbun domain with my Opnsense nginx plugin in order to resolve the address (such as navidrome.example.com to my local server’s navidrome instance @ 192.168.1.99:4533). I attempted this guide here as well as trying to configure a separate nginx on the server itself. I haven’t had much luck with these guides either.

Any address outside of router.example.com results in a connection failure. Including when I tried to route everything like navi.router.example.com. This is with and without wildcards in the A Record entries on Porkbun’s DNS control panel. I’ve tried *.example.com, *.router.example.com, navidrome.example.com, navidrome.router.example.com.

Sorry if this seems like a simple problem or if I am missing a massive step, I am complete newbie at self-hosting/networking.

edit: Finally got it working with the simple urls resolving to the proper self-hosted services and with proper CA certs. Thank y’all for the help and advice!!

    You’re not entirely clear on whether you want these services accessible from the internet or just internally. If the latter, change ACME settings to use DNS challenges instead of HTTP. If the former, recheck your dns records, maybe post them here (censored if you wish).
