@John Lohman this sounds very interesting. With having so many self hosted apps I wanted to add more robust security layers, as well as my current monitoring through my SIEM.

Cheers both, I fine them really useful for organisation, especially moving VMs from one proxmox server to another. My tasks for this weekend: 1. Create a test build of CheckMK raw 2. Install fail2ban across my VM's 3. Build a dedicated proxmox backup server for my media server 4. Start build of new desktop PC

@Andrew Hargreave I also use one of these for the headend for my proxmox backup server. I also use a 2.5gbe USB NIC, not so much for live throughput but to make sure that my backups that start at 2am complete by 6am.

Proxmox Proxmox Backup Server Docker/Portainer NGINX Proxy Manger DNS SIEM

@Brandon Lee ah yes, I installed this but nit tried it as yet. I have a new domain that's not been used yet, so I may try traefik with it.

@Brandon Lee after taking oyur suggestion, i did indeed refer to the logs and I could see a repititve error message that referred to nginx proxy manager failing to resolve to my internal dns host. i cleared the dns host out of NPM, rebooted, restarted docker compose file and hey presto it worked. I am not going to rervert back until I can find out why this happens and if there is a resolution.
