I wouldn't try to use nginx as per the original post has suggested. Routing traffic through nginx, as shown in this post, means that you dont have a router. Most people have a router. Why route traffic twice before it hits the Rustdesk containers?

Simplify is your friend. Remove useless layers of complexity.

Here's what I got going on my home lab.
