Hello, all. I'll start this post off with - this is a test. :P I have the same topic posted at /r/... seeing if I get any l<3ve over here!!! I hope so!!! LemmyNet for the WiN!

I have two domains that I pay for... lets call them domain1.com and domain2.com. I'm running a Bitwarden docker container that uses nginx to serve the website... its address is bitwarden.domain1.com .

I'm running a HUGO website with Apache2... its address is domain2.com .

I have one local IP address; currently, I forward ports 80 & 443 to the local IP of the Bitwarden VM. So... thats my issue; I don't understand how to forward these two different services to the domains that I want them on... I've read about Apache2's vhosts - but the websites are on different VMs, and the Bitwarden docker container uses nginx.

I've thought about condensing and putting both services in one VM; but theres still the apache2/nginx issue. I've heard someone mention I should use a third VM to route the traffic to the correct local IPs - but I don't know what software I'd use.

I've thought about using a Cloudflare tunnel for one of those services; but I don't really want to pay, and aren't sure how fast a free Cloudflare tunnel would be - this might be a solution for the Bitwarden service, as I'm the only one accessing it...

Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm sure I'm just novice enough that I don't see the obvious solution - and I'd love to get both sites up and running. Thanks for any input or help!!!

Both nginx and apache are webservers and can do what you need.
Apache calls this Name-based Virtual Hosts. (see ServerName/ServerAlias)
Nginx calls this Name-based virtual servers (see server_name in the docs)

Either will listen on ports 80/443 on the IP and proxy the request depending on the hostname used. If you're not really familiar with either, I would recommend nginx. It's very popular, the documentation is good and the syntax is a lot better IMO.

I hear caddy is also a nice alternative with even simpler syntax, but I haven't used it myself.

Good luck!
