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.
This is what I do. There is actually an nginx proxy manager plugin for home assistant that I used and helped make it really trivial.
