SSH access into virtual machine using nginx / reverse proxy

[markuslacht]

Hey there,
I have a reverse proxy setup using nginx for my server and it works I can access multiple local ip's with diffrent subdomains.

Now I installed a
ubuntu 20.04 server did ip a -> 192.168.178.58 (using the online vnc that perfectly works), whoami -> markus, sudo ufw allow ssh, (checked that sshd is running)
enabled ssh service
NOW I want SSH access from external (not same LAN network)

1) How do I have to configure my reverse proxy / nginx service that runs in a sperate jail?
2) Any port I have to use 5800?, 5900?
3) Any special adjustments of my NIC of my VM?

I tried this but it does not work:

Code:

    server {
        listen       80;
        listen       443 ssl;
        server_name  virtual.xxxx.de;
        ssl_certificate      /usr/local/etc/letsencrypt/live/sv.simact.de/fullchain.pem;

        location / {
        proxy_pass http://192.168.178.58;
        }

        error_page   500 502 503 504  /50x.html;
        location = /50x.html {
            root   /usr/local/www/nginx-dist;
        }
    }

ssh markus@virtual.xxxx.de -> Doing that I can only access my truenas server but not the VM
ssh markus@192.168.178.58 -> worked when I am in the same LAN.

Thanks :)

SSH has absolutely nothing to do with your reverse proxy. If you want to expose SSH directly on that VM, you'll need to forward a port from your router to that VM. How to do that is a question for, well, pretty much anywhere but here, as it has nothing to do with TrueNAS.

But a safer way to go would be to use a VPN to connect to your home network. Once again, really nothing to do with TrueNAS, unless you want to set up TrueNAS to be the VPN server.
