Internal domain and reverse proxy (lemmy.zip)

I'm going round in circles on this one.

What I want to do is:

serve up my self-hosted apps with https (to local clients only - nothing over the open web)
address them as 'app.server.lan' or 'sever.lan/app'
preferably host whatever is needed in docker

I think this is achievable with a reverse proxy, some kind of DNS server and self-signed certs. I'm not a complete noob but my knowledge in this area is lacking. I've done a fair bit of research but I'm probably not using the right terminology or whatever.

Would anyone have a link to a good guide that covers this?

As I understood, the one that you see on the page is something distinct. They have a different service on their ACME page. If you're using a script like acme.sh or using the ACMEIssuer in Caddy, then you can get a free wildcard certificate over that. But I assume it's losing the advantages that have been mentioned like the web dashboard, etc.

Good to know! *-cert is definitely something I’d need to setup in my self host setup, though a little complex as my (free) domain provider does not let me edit TXT records for DNS-01.
