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 it’s now starting to get annoying to remember the ports.
What’s the best way to handle this?
I’ve thought of two solutions:
I’m running a local DNS server, so I probably would be able to make CNAMEs from something like adguard.server.local to the IP, and do a reverse proxy with something like Caddy
Maybe there’s some unified dashboard app that is a reverse proxy with some simple frontend where I can just navigate to server.local and click a button to choose which specific service I want to see?
Set up a domain with a main site that has links to your different services, then set up reverse proxies so you can put certificates on them and serve them all on port 443. If your WAN IP is relatively static then you can forward ports 80 and 443 to your server and use your own domain, if not you can use something like FreeDNS. Or skip the last bit if you don’t need WAN access.
If you want them accessible from outside. I just favorite the ip:port for the internal stuff or you can use something like https://github.com/linuxserver/Heimdall
