I currently run servers via VM in Proxmox.
Two of these VMs are:
- FreshRSS, RSS-Bridge, and Nginx Proxy Manager
- Audiobookshelf
Nginx Proxy Manager is currently being used to reverse proxy FreshRSS & RSS-Bridge. Should I use my currently installed NPM from VM 1 to reverse proxy Audiobookshelf on VM 2? Or should I also install NPM in VM 2 to manage that reverse proxy?
Only if you need to run a different reverse proxy for some reason.
So it would be okay to run 1 reverse proxy to manage all of my servers? Even after I add more server VMs down the line?
Yes no problem.
Sometimes you might want to run multiple and put a load-balancer in front, but that is only for more advanced setups.
I use just 1 Traefik instace to manage all my subdomains, certificates, RPs, IP filter, rate limiter…
There might be specific cases where it makes sense to run multiple reverse proxies, but in general I’d only run one.
@Salix Ideally you would put NPM in VM 3, so you have a single entry point separated from everything else.
I just actually moved NPM into a LXC container now and it works great!
