My setup exists of one local server that basically hosts Jellyfin and an arr stack.
I only access this server locally with PC, TV and phone, however I might setup a Wireguard based remote access in the future.
Should I use a reverse proxy like Caddy so I can access the different containers with a local domain name like jellyfin.myserver.local?
I am also interested in hosting Adguard home but how can this work together with Caddy, won’t they both conflict as a DNS server?
Whatever floats your boat. If you don’t need it, you don’t need it. I have some services exposed to the outside on the standard port and I need a reverse proxy to make that possible. It also does the https with letsencrypt certificates. It’s a bit more comfortable managing them all in the reverse proxy. But I also have some webinterfaces of other less important software that is fine running on some IP on port 5102 and I don’t worry configuring something to change that. I don’t think there is a “should” unless you need to encrypt the traffic or expose that service to somewhere. And it’s also not wrong to do it.
