Why is SSL certificating so hard?
https://nginxproxymanager.com/ is a front end for Nginx. Technically I still have Nginx but you just install the proxy manager.
- Multiple non-contiguous IP addresses on WAN - How to?
-
Same URL both inside and outside network via NGINX
The steps involved for getting this setup are: - Register a domain name - Set the domain to resolve to your home IP address - (Technically optional but highly recommended) Set up dyndns to automatically update your domain if your home IP changes. Some routers have this as a built-in feature you can use. If not, you'd need to run an auto-updater yourself. - Configure port forwarding in your router for 80 and 443 to your reverse proxy (nginx) - I recommend using something that automatically sets up TLS through letsencrypt such as SWAG or nginx proxy manager. They're all just wrappers for nginx so if you're familiar with nginx then they should be easy changes. - Configure nginx to listen on 80 (HTTP) and 443 (HTTPS) but redirect requests based on either subdomain or path to the specific IP + Port of your app. - (Optional but recommended) Configure your internal DNS server to resolve your domain to the local IP of your reverse proxy so internal traffic doesn't need to leave your network and come back in from the internet.

HTTP(s) stanard ports for container
Not that I'm aware of but I use Nginx Proxy Manager and it works really well, provided you also have something handling the DNS part to point your browser to the proxy
There's so many different options for doing this kind of thing, and we don't want to dictate how people should do it - different people will have different needs and preferences - so this isn't something we're looking at providing as part of Portainer at this stage.

3 weeks ago I knew nothing about docker or selfhosting. Now I have my small home server and thanks to r/selfhosted I was able to setup it all by myself! Any recommendations on what should I install next?
Not really. The compose file here should work just fine; https://hub.docker.com/_/caddy
Step 1: Install the Caddy docker container. https://hub.docker.com/_/caddy

I'm trying to setup Vault Warden, how do you set up a reverse proxy?
I looked up Caddy and it seems simpleish but I'm unsure of how to proceed. Any tips?

Then, set up something like Caddy for a reverse proxy: https://hub.docker.com/_/caddy (probably 20 minutes)
