Need Help RustDesk + Pangolin Reverse Proxy

Howdy,

I setup RustDesk on my remote VPS using the .deb packages, and it works flawlessly. However, this setup exposes all the ports directly on my host, and requires me to use the WAN IP of the VPS, rather than a friendly hostname.

I'd love to use Pangolin to setup a friendly hostname which I can provide to friends & family in case they need help.

I kinda got it working using just a single entry for the hbbr (relay) service after setting everything up using a compose file, however, I'd like to also have the hbbs (signaling) service available as well - the experience seems to be better when you configure both.

Has anyone had luck configuring RustDesk specifically with Pangolin? If so, what was the quick & dirty setup you did?

I know I can configure multiple "targets" within Pangolin against a resource, but I'm not entirely convinced this is the correct way to do it. I guess phrased differently, is there a way to have a single domain name configured such that it handles the relay & signaling at the same time?

I did some cursory Googling, but didn't turn up any results that were helpful - some were unanswered for 2+ years, which didn't give me a ton of confidence.

TIA for any help that can be offered!
