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!).
My husband is the same way.
Him: what are you doing?
Me: Do you really want me to explain?
Him: yes.
Me: I’m moving data from …
Him: never mind. I don’t care.
I’m at the point of being exasperated whenever she asks, since I know three words into my response she’ll lose focus
Hosting a Plex server is the one thing my lab does that shows value to her, as long as that’s up no complaints
