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.
Generally speaking, a subdomain like
jellyfin.myhome.comwill work out much better than a subpath likemyhome.com/jellyfin.Very few web apps can deal well (or at all) with being used under a subpath.
Well, whatever works. Your example wouldn’t need a reverse-proxy.
Using reverse proxies is common enough now that quite a few apps can deal with subpaths, and for the ones that can’t you can generally get nginx to rewrite the paths for you to make things work.
Alright, have fun with that. 🙂
