How does hypixel have their website and minecraft server on their root domain? (I would like to do something similar) - eviltoast

Hypixel.net is both their website and mc server adress.

Is it just that https is on port 443 and minecraft is on port 25565?

And if that is the case, can i do something similar by making a reverse proxy have two seperate server blocks for the one domain, with different ports?

    This is how I set up my reverse proxy and it works really well with wildcard SSL certs. Only need one certificate for as many sites as I want!

      Or you can use something like caddy that will set up certs automatically using tls-alpn-01 challenge, so no need for dns challenge .

        I haven’t tried caddy but I’ve heard good things. I’ve used nginx in the past. I’m currently using Traefik and have been for a few years now. Once it’s set up its pretty great.

          Caddy can do both. If you’re using a wildcard already, stick with it. In fact, I’d say it’s more prudent to use wildcards (with DNS challenges) than http challenges.Then you aren’t listing all of your domains in letsencrypt’s public database for everyone to see.
