This will be my first post, so please bear with me 
. I have discovered the Home Assistant community only a couple of weeks ago and I decided on the container install method because it is a little work related and new learning opportunity. A lot to unpack to say the least. I got things up and running already with the exception of the remote access, at least partially.
Here is my situation: I have a DDNS provided by my ISP that provides me with a domain, and only that, no access token, I have asked, and I have a NGINX webserver that is already acting as a homepage for my other services that I have running: Sonarr, Radarr etc. NGINX config has been done by a friend of mine, so I have very little knowhow with it. All is know that ports 80 and 443 are already pointing to it.
I want to put the access to Home Assistant behind the same webserver, I read that it does not support using a path External_URL
I have remote access if I forward port 8123, but it is unsecured.
I have a couple of the guides here in the community, but it didn’t help me very much with my situation, I admit there are a lot of things that I am unaware of.
Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated. And if other info is required.
Thank you!
This is my running NGINX config.
