I’m still a newcomer to self hosting, and I could use some guidance on how to best accomplish what I’m trying to do.

Right now, I’ve got AdGuard, Jellyfin, and Nextcloud running on a Raspberry Pi 4 with a 500 GB external hard drive, using YunoHost. Those services are all available at my free domain name provided by YunoHost.

I’d like to run all of those services on the same Pi they’re on now, but using Docker, so I have more control and access to more applications. I would also like to configure a reverse proxy so I can access them at, for example, nextcloud.mydomain.com. (YunoHost doesn’t support custom domains from Porkbun, which is the registrar I’m using.)

What would be the least painful way to go about this? I understand how Docker works conceptually, but I admittedly don’t really know how to use it in practice. Are there any resources available that would get me up to speed quickly?

Appreciate the help - thanks!

    Thank you!

    Are there any simple services you’d recommend starting with to get a feel for things? I’ll probably start with AdGuard, unless there’s a better option

    And I don’t plan to use both at the same time, so conflicting ports shouldn’t be an issue.

    Is the process for configuring your own domain with Docket enough of a pain that I should consider sticking with YunoHost?

      Put Adguard in second spot since it does some non-basic stuff with networking.

      Do you use any *arr? Those are easy enough. Or Jellyfin maybe? My top recommendation would be Portainer, which offers a handsome interface for Docker management. That will help you out of the sea.

      Docker doesn’t really offer any domain-related functionality at all. You can host an app for that as well, but I found YH is just easier.

        I don’t use any *arr, though I’ve been meaning to look more into it. I do use Jellyfin though, so I’ll probably start there.

        I’ll take a look at Nginx proxy manager for domain configuration, like another user in this thread suggested

      Docker doesn’t have anything to do with your own domain, the process is the same either way. Essentially your reverse proxy will handle the domain traffic and SSL, and your local DNS server will resolve the domain to the server IP.
