Currently my home server runs a few services that have a web UI. I currently access them by typing in the IP address and port number, but itโs now starting to get annoying to remember the ports.
Whatโs the best way to handle this?
Iโve thought of two solutions:
- Iโm running a local DNS server, so I probably would be able to make CNAMEs from something like
adguard.server.localto the IP, and do a reverse proxy with something like Caddy - Maybe thereโs some unified dashboard app that is a reverse proxy with some simple frontend where I can just navigate to
server.localand click a button to choose which specific service I want to see?
What are your opinions on this?
I mean, if youโre problem is just remembering to type โ10.0.0.100:8080โ you could just have browser bookmarks. But thatโs not very selfhosty. ๐
Personally, Iโve got a bit of #1 and #2 going on.
Iโve got Nginx Proxy Manager in docker that rev proxies pretty much everything and adds SSL on top. I am running an inside DNS zone, so I have a bunch of CNAMEs that all point to the host running NPM. Lastly, Iโm using Dashy as the front end to it all.
