I love my homelab, and the more I tune things the more satisfaction I have. I tolerated the “Your connection is not private” for my self-signed SSL certs on my services for way too long.
I just setup NGINX Proxy Manager as a LXC on my Proxmox Server and pointed a subdomain I own to the server. Now I have custom domains for each service along with valid SSL Certificates. It’s all local without exposing anything to the outside world. It’s very satisfying. I tried explaining what I was doing to my GF but she could care less ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Followed this video from Wolfgang’s Channel YouTube (great channel btw), the first minute does a better job explaining the setup. I always thought I would have to setup a local CA which is more work than I was interested in, but this approach was much simpler (and free!).
I did this too, strange how satisfying seeing those lock symbols and custom domains are! Also use NPM, love the ease of use!
the custom domains are very nice! I use homer as a dashboard so I never really needed to memorize the IPs (though I still do), but now it’s even easier
How can you use NPM to help with this? I’ve only ever used it to install things!
Nginx Proxy Manager, not npm the package registry
