Hello,
I have been owning an APC Back-UPS BX1600MI for a little under two years and have been encountering issues with it recently: the battery failed in August, I had to RMA and the replacement one is stuck on battery power while plugged to the mains since last night.
From what I gathered online, this model is plagued with issues, so I'm looking for another one.
My requirements are:
- Purchasable in the EU
- Has a variant with FR or DE plugs
- Can be monitored with NUT over USB or Ethernet
- At least 900VA capacity but if I can get the same capacity as currently (1600VA) for about 200€ I would
Thanks a lot!
EDIT: The UPS is fine, it turns out my street's transformer had an issue and only provided 135V instead of the expected 230V, which means that the UPS was on battery for a valid reason. What lead me to believe that the UPS was at fault was that every other appliances seemed to work fine.
It is possible, what you're looking for is a reverse proxy: it's an HTTP server that will listen to the standard ports for HTTP and HTTPS that will redirect traffic to the chosen service based on the domain name or URL.
In your case, every subdomain would point to your VPS's IP and traffic that's for
mastodon.example.tld
will be seemlesly proxied to your Mastodon container.Do some research on Caddy or Nginx, and I strongly recommend you learn Docker Compose and Docker networking, it will help you make it easier to maintain everything.
PS: CNAME pointing to A record is the way to go. You can do it one better by having a CNAME entry for
*.example.tld
, but you better make sure that your reverse proxy won't proxy requests to an unexpected container when requesting a bogus subdomain.
