Hi there. Im fairly new to self-hosting and would love some help
setting up my various panels with a subdomain.


How would I go about setting up a panel like Portainer or
NginxProxyManager with a domain?

Ideally I would like something like:
[portainer.mydomain.com](https://portainer.mydomain.com) and
nginx.mydomain.com

Is this for internal use or external?

If by external you mean outside the local network then yes

I use cloudflare tunnels for anything I'm exposing to the interwebs.
It's free if you want to look into that.

I assume when you say panels you mean services? as you have mentioned
portainer being one.

Most conmanly it is done via a revers proxy like NginxProxyManager.
The questionis asked very often here, I suggest doing a quick search
on the sub.

Here is one example of a guide posted here not long ago:

That what im currently trying to setup.

I made a tunnel for portainer by doing the following:
\- set a name for the tunnel
\- ran the docker command from the "environment" section while setting
up the tunnel
\- set the hostname to
[portainer.mydomain.com](https://portainer.mydomain.com)
\- set the type to https
\- set the URL to ipaddress:portainerport
\- enabled no TLS verify

The tunnel is marked green with the text "healthy" but when I try to
connect I get this error in my browser:
DNS\_PROBE\_FINISHED\_NXDOMAIN

Try changing it from https to http and see what happens.
