How are people doing HTTPS? (kbin.social)

I have a PC I have installed Portainer on, with various docker services (home assistant, jellyfin, etc..) with an ISP supplied router fixing various device IP addresses and reaching out to dyndns.

I really want to move everything over to HTTPS connections by supplying certificates, tls termination, etc .
The issue I have is self signed certificates mean I have to manage certificate deployment to everything in the house.

I figure I need to link a domain to the DynDNS entry and arrange certs for the domain. However I can't make the link function and everywhere wants >£100 to generate a certificate.

How are people solving this issue?

Gotta live on the edge, man. Open up your router. All ports. Firewalls are for pansies. Connect your laptop directly to the modem. Enable ssh and rdp. What could go wrong?
