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?

        ZeroSSL has unpaid plans (for non wildcards) that have a few advantages that LE doesn’t:

        • No Ratelimits,
        • A WebDashboard
        • More ways to validate
        • They have a RestAPI

        And, first and foremost, they are European and it’s always good tk have an alternative ready.

        But as said before, I totally missed the wildcard issue, as I haven’t touched these for a long time and recently had more to do with my public services (which get a ACME single domain cert via zeroSSL)
