Hello people, I recently rented a vps server from OVH and I want to start hosting my own piefed instance and a couple other services. I am running debian 13 with docker, and I have nginx proxy manager almost set up. I want to set up subdomains so when I do social.my.domain it will go to my piefed instance, but how do I tell the machine to send piefed traffic to this subdomain and joplin traffic (for example) to another domain? Can I use nginx/docker natively for that or do I have to install another program. Thanks for the advice.


If your goal is ease if use and scaling complexity along with your experience, and you’re planning to use Docker like you mentioned, then I recommend Traefic: https://doc.traefik.io/traefik/
If not, then I recommend Caddy or nginx.
