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?

    Pasting a comment I made in another similar thread:

    I use a reverse proxy (caddy), and point a domain at my machine.ts-domain.ts.net which hosts caddy

    this way I can go to service.my.domain instead of machine:port as long as I’m connected to tailscale. any devices not on my tailscale network just get bounced if they hit the domain
