I was looking in to a way to make this happen with a free domain hosting provider. This is the first time I've dealt with web domain hosting and I have some major questions. To get what I think I know out of the way, here's how I envision this happening:
If my understanding is correct, should I set up NGINX using the SSL certificate provided by Cloudflare? In my mind, NGINX is just a method of setting up a self-hosted reverse proxy, right? Additionally I've looked at tutorials and am still uncertain on how to set up NGINX, so I'll likely be asking more questions about this in the replies.
If my understanding is incorrect, please let me know how things actually work. It would be much appreciated. If someone is willing to throw what they know at my face, I am willing to convert knowledge gained from this into a tutorial. I will likely be asking various follow up questions as I progress through this (sorry in advanced).
- Server PC hosts Ombi jail
- NGINX jail takes Ombi and adds SSL
- Router does port forwarding for NGINX jail
- Cloudflare takes the forwarded port and sends it to a dot.tk domain (since it's free and I've heard it supports SSL)
