It appears that after some initial struggles I have been able to figure out how to get these forums up and running.
Initially I was hosting my Nginx Proxy Manager as a docker container under my Synology NAS, the forum software I am running, "MYBB" as part of it's spam prevention logs the IP address of people signing up, however the proxy server was reporting my local IP instead of passing through the public IP to the forum software thus triggering the failure as it kept seeing the same IP sign up.
Compounding the issue was that my reverse proxy was running under Synology in bridged mode instead of host.
Using Grok I came to the conclusion that I was better off to sping up a LXC container version og Nginx Proxy Manager and use this. I did so and after a few tweaks to the nginx.conf_realip file under hestia "webhosting software" and then a small change to the NPM config file I was finally able to get the real IP passed through to MYBB.
In addition to this, Grok was able to help me with getting the e-mail setup properly so that new users can get their confirmation e-mails, in addition to notices I send out from the board as well.
So thanks for all your patience during this time, and please feel free to explore and post some subjects to get things rolling.
