Hello community,
I am new into ha applications (so excuse my first post lol).
I have been running my ha on VirtualBox since my physical laptop is running Winodws 11.
For about a week now, I have been working on using duck dns and nginx add-ons to access my ha both locally and remotely.
I have used bridged network adapter on my VM (my physical laptop is connected to WiFi) and I can obtain a separate IP for my VM.
in my router’s settings I have used external port 8126 and passed it into the internal IP of my HA (not my VM) in addition to using an internal port of 8126. I have configured my duckdns and nginx addons accordingly.
When i test the url using the duckdns domain, i can use it to access the ha when connected to my local network, but the same url doesnt work when im connected to an external network.
I am thinking, maybe it has to do because I am running ha using VirtualBox. Maybe my router settings are wrong.
Please any advice would be useful. Let me know if you need any further information about my setup.
Many thanks,
Konstantinos
