Should I use a reverse proxy in a homelab?
(lemmy.world)
My setup exists of one local server that basically hosts Jellyfin and an arr stack. I only access this server locally with PC, TV and phone, however I might setup a Wireguard based remote access in the future.
Should I use a reverse proxy like Caddy so I can access the different containers with a local domain name like jellyfin.myserver.local?
I am also interested in hosting Adguard home but how can this work together with Caddy, won't they both conflict as a DNS server?
I appreciate any possible advice on these topics.
Thank you.
I like the workflow of having a DNS record on my network for *.mydomain.com pointing to Nginx Proxy Manager, and just needing to plug in a subdomain, IP, and port whenever I spin up something new for super easy SSL. All you need is one let's encrypt wildcard cert for your domain and you're all set.
This is exactly how I have mine set up and I really like it.
I’ve got an internal and external domain with a wildcard cert so if it’s a local only service I can easily create a newservice.localurl.com, and if it’s external I can just as easily set up newservice.externalurl.com
Can show us how you configured the internal part?
Haven’t forgotten. Just haven’t had time. I’ll get a write up ASAP
