How do you guys set internal domains?
Say i dont want to type 192.168.1.100:8096 and want a url instead, say jellyfin.servername - how would I go about that? I don’t want it exposed online via reverse proxy. I don’t need certs. No port forwarding on the router.
How do I type ‘jellyfin.servername’ into a browser and being up the jellyfin dashboard?
If you have your own DNS server you can set a hostname there like ‘jellyfin.myserver’ and have that accessible from your internal network. If you want to do so on your PC you can edit your hosts file to add a custom entry. https://www.hostinger.com/tutorials/how-to-edit-hosts-file
Keep in mind you still need to specify the port with this method.
Yeah, how and where? In the docker compose? I have a dozem containers and is love if they were all a.server. b.server, c.server. How can I do this? Pihole DNS records don’t do anything at the port level.
Sorry I meant in your browser. Yes dns does not point to ports.
You would have to use some sort of reverse proxy that is only accessible from internal networks
Gotcha. I have nginx proxy manager on the go and I’ve heard caddy is simple, so i’ll see how I get on. Thanks for the advice.
It’s the port that’s tripping me. How do I point jellyfin to that domain? It’s on docker on port 8096 - the hostname isn’t the problem, it’s the container.
Ah okay. You need some sort of reverse proxy.
I really like caddy. Using it with caddy-docker-proxy in docker-compose makes it quite nifty:
version: '3.7' services: whoami: image: containous/whoami networks: - caddy labels: caddy: http://whoami.mylab.home caddy.reverse_proxy: "{{upstreams 80}}" networks: caddy: external: trueJust make sure to explicitly use ‘http’ instead of ‘https’. That way it won’t try to create certificates.
