Hi selfhosting community :)
I am hosting some services on a NixOS box (Immich, Nextcloud and some others). So far I had no problem reaching my services, just via tailscale when I am not at home.
But now I wanted to branch out and get a little fancy with https setup and a domain, so I can share my services with friends. I followed this guide and got a domain at cloudflare. However I ran into some problems.
The relevant setup:

Nextcloud:
services.nextcloud = {
enable = true;
hostName = "nextcloud.<mydomain>.com";
https = true;
};
Nginx:
services.nginx = {
enable = true;
virtualHosts = {
"nextcloud.<mydomain>.com" = {
forceSSL = true;
useACMEHost = "<mydomain>.com";
};
"immich.<mydomain>.com" = {
forceSSL = true;
useACMEHost = "<mydomain>.com";
locations."/".proxyPass = "http://127.0.0.1:2283/";
};
"immich.<machine>.<tailnet>.net" = {
locations."/".proxyPass = "http://127.0.0.1:2283/";
};
};
};
ACME
security.acme = {
acceptTerms = true;
defaults.email = "[email protected]";
certs."<mydomain>.com" = {
domain = "*.<mydomain>.com";
group = "nginx";
dnsProvider = "cloudflare";
dnsPropagationCheck = true;
credentialsFile = config.sops.secrets.cloudflare.path;
};
};
My situation now is the following:
- I can reach eg. Immich by going to http://<machine>.<tailnet>.net:2283 (https is not working here).
- I can not reach Immich by the domains I have setup in my Nginx configuration. So “immich.<machine>.<tailnet>.net” & “immich.<mydomain>.com” give a “Server not found” error. I tried both 127.0.0.1 and the tailscale IP of the server in the proxyPass section.
Does one of you network wizards know where the problem lies? Or how would I go about troubleshooting the issue?
How are you running nginx and immich exactly? With containers or on the host?I don’t know nixos that much but that looks like nixos configuration to me, so it’s running on the host I assume?
Yes, correct. So far I was able to access the services via <tailscale ip of the host>:<port> on any device in my tailnet.
