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?

    Personal solution:

    • Openssl certs (lots of youtube videos on best practice there).
    • nginx reverse proxy manager
    • adguard home using the dns rewrite pointing to the wildcard domain.

    This is enough i find for intranet use. You can get fancy and put it over a wireguard or tailscale network too.
