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?
I use pihole running on an esxi server for dns. In pihole you can create local dns records which is exactly what you’re trying to do. It’s very lightweight, you can run it on about anything.
PiHole as your DNS resolver. LocalDNS mapping whatever hostname you want to whatever IP you want.
Because I use Nginx Proxy Manager internally - then most of my hostname point to the Nginx IP address
You can add an entry to your /etc/hosts file for the IP part, but this cannot remove the need to specify the port number as it is unrelated to the domain/IP
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
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.

The host isn’t really the issue. It’s the container. How do I access the container with a name rather than number.

You can configure a local only DNS

You’ll need a reverse proxy.

Keep in mind you still need to specify the port with this method.

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
Wolfangs Channel had a video about that a few weeks ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlcVx-k-02E
I didn’t try it myself yet, but judging from his other videos, he’s not a complete idiot, so I assume it’s solid advice.
