I’m going round in circles on this one.

What I want to do is:

  • serve up my self-hosted apps with https (to local clients only - nothing over the open web)
  • address them as ‘app.server.lan’ or ‘sever.lan/app’
  • preferably host whatever is needed in docker

I think this is achievable with a reverse proxy, some kind of DNS server and self-signed certs. I’m not a complete noob but my knowledge in this area is lacking. I’ve done a fair bit of research but I’m probably not using the right terminology or whatever.

Would anyone have a link to a good guide that covers this?

    I have a pretty similar setup currently running but I bought a public domain that I use for my certificates.

    I used to have a pi-hole as my DNS server where I entered all subdomains and pointed them at the right address, namely my reverse-proxy.

    My reverse-proxy, Nginx Proxy Manager, got the certificates from my domain registrar and forwarded the requests to the correct services based on subdomain.
