Troubleshooting Airbyte access via NGINX Ingress and Synology NAS Reverse Proxy

Summary

User is facing issues accessing Airbyte via NGINX Ingress and Synology NAS Reverse Proxy on a new machine. They are unable to access Airbyte from other local machines and are seeking help to configure it for universal access.


Question

Hi all, I’ve been puling out my hair trying to fix this issue. I originally used Docker Compose on a old laptop and decided to move airbyte over to a different machine (Ubuntu 24.04) using helm install to setup Airbyte with Kubernetes. I want this to be able to run and have my other local machines access it. I am trying to use NGINX Ingress but I am having mixed results.

I did this originally by pointing http://airbyte.domain.com|airbyte.domain.com to a synology NAS reverse proxy that proxy passed to 192.168.x.y:8000. If i remember correctly, I think I just opened the ports and it seemed to work.

GOAL: Me(192.168.x.x) -> http://airbyte.domain.com|airbyte.domain.com -> Synology NAS (192.168.x.y:80) -> Airbyte Computer (192.168.x.z:80) -> Airrbyte(127.0.0.1:8080)

• Can’t access from another computer on the same network using the machine ip address (192.168.x.y:8080) I did this originally with Docker Compose by opening up the ports but I don’t recall having to use nginx.
• I can’t access using the domain i setup that points to my Synology NAS Reverse Proxy. (http://airbyte.domain.com|airbyte.domain.com -> Synology NAS (192.168.x.y) -> Airbyte computer (192.168.x.z) )
• I managed to edit the hosts file of my laptop to point to 192.168.x.z <http://airbyte2.domain.com|airbyte2.domain.com> and it worked with the NGINX Ingress until I turned the Airbyte computer off and on.

Can someone help me identify where this is going wrong? I thought it was with the SynologyNAS Reverse Proxy but I can’t even get it to work by editing the hostfile to point directly at the Airbyte computer local ip address. Is there a way to configure this so that I can access airbyte from any local machine?
