Running other web servers / Docker container?

[perelin]

Hi all!

Have not been able to find a concrete answer to the following:

I want to run another web server on the same VM as Claudron. So I can web proxy to some services in docker containers I want to run. What are my options?

• The idea is to have a completely different domain for the other services. Not a must, but probably best, right?
• Port 80/443 are of course bound to Cloudron Nginx. Which probably is configured and managed by Claudron, right? Or can I somehow add a site with rules for my services domain? Could just have a rule that proxies the services domain to a downstream web server.
• Any way I can reuse the Claudron Auto-DNS/SSL capabilities and just setup up my services with Claudron?

What are the best practices here?

Thanks!

P.S. Using the LAMP stack Claudron app is not going to work for me.

Yes you absolutely can! But you'll likely need to create a custom app: https://docs.cloudron.io/packaging/tutorial/

@andreasdueren Yes, this is the way. I've done it with a few apps I wrote, and it works great. Plus, you get backups, which is great!

@andreasdueren Cool, thx! Will try that approach and report back.
