The reverse proxy is infernal. I type sub.domain.tld to get to my internal site. All with automated certs.
Makes it so I dont have to remember IP and port combos
Makes sense, I do something similar but just for things I want to access externally. I started adding some internal only ones but ultimately decided I was too lazy to remember the names and already knew the IPs/ports.
I use a combination of a custom built Caddy Docker container, Technitium for DNS, and DNSWeaver.
Automated DNS Entries, Automated Reverse Proxy entries all with Docker labels.
Sounds like an awesome setup, but I'll stick with remembering the IP:port, its just easier for me to remember numbers than whatever words I used when I set it up.
Hey all good by me. Different setups for different folk!
