Adguard + Nginx-Proxy configuration

Hi there,

It's my first time in selfhosted world so I'm sorry for any (probable)
mistakes.

I recently bought a VPS to set up a personal DNS Server (I'm going to
use Adguard Home container). To do that I've already bought a domain
(cloudflare) and I've managed DNS records as follow (hopefully in the
correct way):

|Type|Name|Content|
|:-|:-|:-|
|A|mydomain.com|1.2.3.4|
|CNAME|www|mydomain.com|

I don't want to expose AdguardHome directly so I've decided to use
Nginx-proxy container.

Since I'm going to use DNS over HTTPS I've already requested an SSL
certificate and I've used acme-companion container to handle its
automatic renewal.

Now things get complicated.

My docker compose file is something like that:

`services:`
 `nginx-proxy:`
 `image: nginxproxy/nginx-proxy`
 `restart: unless-stopped`
 `container_name: nginx-proxy`
 `ports:`
`- 80:80`
`- 443:443`
 `volumes:`
`- ./path/certs:/etc/nginx/certs:rw`
`- ./path/vhost:/etc/nginx/vhost.d`
`- ./path/html:/usr/share/nginx/html`
`- ./path/nginx_logs/:/var/log/nginx`
`- /var/run/docker.sock:/tmp/docker.sock:ro`
 `environment:`
`- ENABLE_IPV6=true`
 `acme-companion:`
 `image: nginxproxy/acme-companion`
 `restart: unless-stopped`
 `container_name: nginx-proxy-acme`
 `volumes_from:`
`- nginx-proxy`
 `volumes:`
`- ./path/acme:/etc/acme.sh`
`- /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro`
 `environment:`
`- DEFAULT_EMAIL=myemail`
 `adguardhome:`
 `container_name: adguardhome`
 `image: adguard/adguardhome`
 `restart: unless-stopped`
 `volumes:`
`- './path/settings/data:/root/adguardhome/work'`
`- './path/settings/conf:/root/adguardhome/conf'`
 `environment:`
`- VIRTUAL_HOST=www.mydomain.com`
`- LETSENCRYPT_HOST=www.mydomain.com`
`- VIRTUAL_PORT=3000`

When I try to go on [www.mydomain.com](https://www.mydomain.com)
(after docker compose up -d command) the browser sends me
'ERR\_TOO\_MANY\_REDIRECTS' error and I don't know how to fix this.

Lastly, to give you a complete description, I'm using Tailscale on my
VPS and I would like to set up Headscale.

Thanks for your help.
