Help setting up reverse proxy

[Bliwi]

Hello, I have successfully setup a eaglercraft server inside a docker container in my home server. I'm able to access it with the offline clients and I have port forwarded the server for other users to try it. But I would like to setup a reverse proxy to make it more convenient for other people to play as well.

I'm not familiar with reverse proxies setups, I have tried looking around for guides on how to configure it but I wasn't able to successfully implement the websocket reverse proxy.

• I have tried just using the Cloudflare domain proxy, it supposedly supports websockets but it didn't seem to work (I think it only supports http and not TPC).
• then tried using nginx and wasn't successful in getting it to work as well.
• And last I tried using Infrared, a tool specifically made for reverse proxies for minecraft servers to setup the proxy which didn't work either.

Is there a guide on how to setup the websocket reverse proxy for an eaglercraft server?

After attempting again I was able to successfully configure it through Nginx and the cloudflare tunnels. Though I still think a guide for setting up the certificates would be very helpful.

Setting up the server through cloudflare is actually very simple, The part I was doing wrong is that I had tried using https and TCP, the tunnel for eaglercraft actually needs to be configured as http, cloudflare will handle the https and certificates for you.

I would recommend anyone having problems setting up the reverse proxy to try using a cloudflare tunnel.

I did also configure it using the Ngnix Proxy manager, though the setup is more complicated. I just followed a different guide for reverse proxies and used the Webui to configure it.
