Hey everyone, asking here since I’ve been trying (and failing) at the numerous guides online. The end goal is so that I can have proper Let’s Encrypt certs for my self hosted servers to include VaultWarden (which will not work with self-signed or http) as well as have easy urls for myself and family to use.

So I am trying to setup my Porkbun domain with my Opnsense nginx plugin in order to resolve the address (such as navidrome.example.com to my local server’s navidrome instance @ 192.168.1.99:4533). I attempted this guide here as well as trying to configure a separate nginx on the server itself. I haven’t had much luck with these guides either.

Any address outside of router.example.com results in a connection failure. Including when I tried to route everything like navi.router.example.com. This is with and without wildcards in the A Record entries on Porkbun’s DNS control panel. I’ve tried *.example.com, *.router.example.com, navidrome.example.com, navidrome.router.example.com.

Sorry if this seems like a simple problem or if I am missing a massive step, I am complete newbie at self-hosting/networking.

    So following dig ns domain in terminal vs web app on my phone (shared by another commenter and I had checked lemmy on mobile): my computer was resolving with a couple of different odd results including my public ipv6 address. On mobile it resolved properly.

    Checked my DNS and my computer’s dns had my public ip in the listing. So now after removing that, the domain resolves to the wildcard (which dumps at my opnsense router and throws the dns rebind error). So I’m assuming that should be it?

    Now I should only have to resolve configuring nginx properly.

    Thank you for suggesting the dig command!
