I have a bunch of services running on my LAN, mostly from a single Debian machine. I access them at URLs like http://devicename.lan:portnumber. I would like to change to http://servicename.devicename.lan.

How it works now: The router (openwrt) sets a static IP per device and the port number is selected by the application or system unit running it.

What is the absolute simplest way to accomplish this? I don’t mind if it is managed by the router or by the server machine itself. Hoping for something that can be configured with a text file or web interface or other basic mathod.

These sevices are private, just for me and I have no plans to ever access them externally. I have so far avoided any certificates or SSL or other stuff. I don’t use docker and would rather not get into it right now. I like my domain name setup how it is with fake local domains.

Hoping this could be possible without making a whole project out of it.

    You don’t need ipv6 for that. You can assign as many ipv4 addresses to an interface as you want.

    Edit: this is also certainly not the simplest way, especially since I have no idea how it would interact with docker. It’s a significantly larger management headache than a single rule-based reverse proxy.
