Can you have local reverse proxies? (reddthat.com)

Perhaps this is a weird question I have, but I've been watching some technotim videos lately and he seems to have local dns addresses for local services. Perhaps I've got this wrong, but if not: how would you go over doing this?

I have a pterodactyl dashboard, which I access locally using the machines IP and the port, but it would be great to have a pterodactyl.example.com domain, which isn't accessible from other networks, but does work on my own network. I also still want some services exposed to the internet, so I'm not sure if this would work.

Yup. You can run both local amd external services off the same proxy, at least with traefik and I assume others. Alternatively you could use traefik to solely for local services and Cloudflare zero trust tunnel for external. I think his traefik video covers it? If not, it covers some part.

The other part is that you need pihole setup to serve local DNS.

Okay, I'll start with configuring pihole for DNS. If I get it, I can just use that DNS and if I need to access a service external I need to register the domain with my registrar?

Yes. But you should generally not expose a bunch of services to the Internet. Use a VPN to access your local network if necessary.

I'm aware of this. There are a few services I expose, but most of them are local. I just wanted to make accessing local services a bit cleaner.

Sure can. I had mine separated with service.My-domain.com and service.Local.My-domain.com If you need help let me know :)
