DNS redirections

[thegreek1]

Hi,

seeing that the DNS server is only able to use IP address mappings and there are no direction to ports and page, how would I get truenas to redirect http/https requests to https://1.1.1.1 and redirecting them to https://1.1.1.1:port#/web

One typically does this with a server load balancer, depending on the specific need. The degenerate case of a SLB is commonly referred to as a "reverse proxy", and I believe Caddy is quite popular around here. I'm not particularly familiar with it, as we're a HAproxy shop.

If you are actually looking to capture the actual IP address 1.1.1.1, you will need both a jail that answers 1.1.1.1:{80,443} and a proxy within that redirects or forwards traffic as desired.

I'm not sure how popular it is other than with me and @Basil Hendroff, but we like it, at least. Relatively trivial configuration is a big benefit, but sadly there isn't a nice GUI to configure it like Nginx Proxy Manager.

Such GUI's typically make it harder to configure things correctly. Bleh.

Yeah, we surely wouldn't want anything like a GUI to configure a NAS.

To be fair, Nginx Proxy Manager feels more byzantine than useful if you need anything vaguely complex.

NAS configuration is generally straightforward compared to the stuff you often end up doing with a SLB.
