Setting up DNS + NGINX properly to Internal Services (alien.top)

Hi r/selfhosted. I am working on setting up my selfhosted setup. I have 8 machines, old Dell Optiplex 7040 SFF, set up with Proxmox. They seem to work properly internally, but I want to expose some services externally (Seafile). I own a domain, but for this I'll just use mydomain.com. I'm having trouble understanding how I should set up my DNS records for this.

How I want my network function:

internal.mydomain.com -> points to my NGINX proxy manager instance
- I have this done with port forwarding and an A record to my external IP
seafile.internal.mydomain.com -> proxies my seafile instance
- I have a record in NGINX proxy manager to point seafile.internal.mydomain.com to 192.168.1.30:80

When I hit internal.mydomain.com, I see the NGINX proxy manager success page, but when I hit seafile.internal.mydomain.com, I get a 404 back. Can anyone help my to understand how I should set this up properly?

Ah okay. I was able to grab the product key so I can always go back. Didn't realize it'd be that simple! Thanks for the advice!

Dell Optiplex 7040 SFF: Windows or Linux (alien.top)

Hello r/homelab,

I just picked up some Dell Optiplex 7040 SFF (8 of them) and they all came with a clean install of Windows 10 Pro. My plan was to run PiHole, nginx for reverse proxy, and some game servers. I wanted to get more familiar with Linux running on these machines but it feels like a waste to throw away Windows 10 Pro subscriptions. What would you do? Keep a subset running Windows and others Linux or would that be more of a hassle than it would be worth?
