I have DietPi running within a Proxmox VM. I want to use this DietPi installation solely for Nextcloud. Since I’m using Nginx Proxy Manager to access my services (Immich, Home Assistant, etc.) from outside my home, I want to use this for the Nextcloud instance as well. My problem is that usually, I will simply point incoming requests for any of my subdomains, e.g., immich.domain.tld to Nginx Proxy Manager and then forward it to the relevant server. e.g., 192.168.0.100:2283. But for Nextcloud, I cannot simply use an IP address and a port for the forward address, but I need to include the /nextcloud. I’m not sure how to do this with Nginx Proxy Manager. So I have two options: Either move Nextcloud to the root path, so I don’t need /nextcloud anymore. Or somehow configure Nginx Proxy Manager to use the sub path /nextcloud. Is someone able to help me with either of those solutions? ---

Simply use the `custom location` option on a proxy host. That’s it. ---

I thought as much, but I’m not sure how I have to configure the custom location. Could you please provide an example or link to one? ---

Its quite simple. Add the location folder `/nextcloud` and as usual target IP+port ---

Any suggestions as to what I need to change here? I’ve tried various combinations, but either I end up at the default apache2 index.php file, or I get an error. ![Screenshot 2025-03-16 232004](https://dietpi.com/forum/uploads/default/original/2X/d/dbc8e401d62335e895a797fc8de73efa8f264c28.jpeg) ![Screenshot 2025-03-16 232304](https://dietpi.com/forum/uploads/default/original/2X/a/ab809a185ac9ba291154efc44335548c559e7ec1.jpeg) ---

On the 2nd scree, don’t add the sub forward hostname ---

Seems like the custom locations are not working as you would expect. I found other people having similar issues on the Nginx Proxy Manager GitHub. Luckily, someone provided a solution that works. So if anyone stumbles upon this issue as well, here is what I did to make it work: ![Screenshot 2025-03-17 091159](https://dietpi.com/forum/uploads/default/original/2X/d/dc84a736852297be7f20118747fad4afd3a4e53e.jpeg) ```auto location = / { return 301 //; } ``` The custom location can be deleted. Taken from here: > > > I'd like to have something like > > https://sub.domain.com forward to https://192….168.1.1:8080/sub > > is that currently possible? I can't find a way to achieve it.. I've tried searching issues but i think i'm missing some fundamental vocabulary to find my answer.. ---
