So i am looking into buying a domain ([xyz.xyz](https://xyz.xyz)) and
use it to access my services
([service.xyz.xyz](https://service.xyz.xyz))

I tried looking this up but i dont know if i found exactly what I am
looking for. I host a jellyfin and a few other stuff on my proxmox
server. is this possible to setup for a beginner or is this more of an
advanced setup? also looking to expand my knowlege on this kind of
stuff.

Any help is appreciated!

Hello here is a quick setup tutorial:
Step 1: Buy a domain from a domain name provider (ex:
godaddy/namecheap or any other domain provider you choose)
Step 2(optional): transfer the domain nameservers to cloudflare. This
step is optional but is an aditional layer of security between you and
the internet. It will hide your home IP adress under cloudflare proxy.
Step 3: Create in the dns recordings to point towards your ip or you
can set up a NPM (Nginx proxy manager) in order to create a proxy
between dns and your internal network (I recommend this rather than
port forward each internal ip in you router interface)
Dm me if you need extra info.

hello, Cloudflare provide a service names Cloudflare tunnel.

It's a little app on your computer who is connected with Cloudflare.

You need to enter a code which Cloudflare give you the first time, and
it's all.

After that, you go on the cloudflare website, and you associate a
website link like [plex.yourdomain.com](https://plex.yourdomain.com)
and a local IP (localhost:32400). The big advantages is:

\- You can install this on 1 machine who has access to all the network

\- When a user go on the site, it point to the Cloudflare Ip Adress
and not yours

\- IT'S FREE

You dont have to transfer domain to cloudflare inorder to use
cloudflare, just change the nameserver will do.
