GUI does not load behind reverse proxy

Hi all, recently spun up Pihole via Docker and it works great! ...Except when accessing behind a reverse proxy. All GUI resources fail to load with a 502 error. I use Nginx Proxy Manager to proxy to pihole.local.mydomain.com with the following configuration:

    location / {
      proxy_pass http://PiholeIP:PiholePort/admin/;
      proxy_set_header Host $host;
      proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
      proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
      proxy_hide_header X-Frame-Options;
      proxy_set_header X-Frame-Options "SAMEORIGIN";
      proxy_read_timeout 90;
    }
    location /admin {
      proxy_pass http://PiholeIP:PiholePort/admin/;
      proxy_set_header Host $host;
      proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
      proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
      proxy_hide_header X-Frame-Options;
      proxy_set_header X-Frame-Options "SAMEORIGIN";
      proxy_read_timeout 90;
    }

The website is accessible, but no GUI elements are available. Has anyone run into a similar issue? I've reviewed a number of threads so far, but most of the issues seem to be about accessing Pihole from behind a reverse proxy at all, not that the GUI fails to load once accessing it.

Thank you! This is the most appealing option to me right now. I’m having trouble understanding how all my internal traffic could be routed via my internal DNS though. NPM listens on both 80 and 443. Is the idea to have NPM listen on 443 and and my local DNS on 80, then I configure my router to use local DNS to route my traffic accordingly?

I've got Nginx Proxy Manager set up and it's working wonderfully. However, I have some services I want to be able to access via reverse proxy, so I have SSL and can use a hostname to direct me to a service, but I only want to be able to access them via VPN. My best idea to make this work is to configure access so that only connections from my local network can access certain proxy hosts. This gives all external traffic a 403 on connection attempt. Is this the best or only way to go about it? Short of additional services such as Authelia and Fail2Ban of course, but I wanted to know if I have the right idea.

Hey all, I’m looking to begin expanding my storage in my homelab, and I want to have somewhere in the range of 16-32TB redundant storage. I didn’t realize that, when buying a NAS from a company like Synology, you’re also paying for their software.

I’m perfectly comfortable running RAID/UNRAID or something like TrueNAS to serve out my NAS storage. So what options does that leave me with? What are the benefits of a RAID enclosure? They certainly seem to be cheaper options than a pre-built NAS, which is certainly appealing. What NAS storage solution do you use?

Current running one box with Proxmox split into several VMs:

  • 1 core devoted to HTPC VM
  • 2 cores devoted to Linux VM for hosting game servers
  • 1 core devoted to Portainer and ~25 containers
  • 1 core reserved for running VMs for fun (Windows, different Linux distros)

My main concern is with my Portainer machine handling quite a bit at this point. I haven’t noticed any performance degradation yet, but I’m wondering if I could benefit from introducing another machine to my homelab to host some services.

How do you tend to organize, separate, and split resources between your hosted services? What steps did you take to begin growing your homelab? Next big step for me is getting an HDD enclosure to serve out more storage then my one HDD allows, but I’m posing this question from a CPU/RAM resources perspective.
