How do you guys set internal domains?

Say i dont want to type 192.168.1.100:8096 and want a url instead, say jellyfin.servername - how would I go about that? I don’t want it exposed online via reverse proxy. I don’t need certs. No port forwarding on the router.

How do I type ‘jellyfin.servername’ into a browser and being up the jellyfin dashboard?

    Reverse proxy and local DNS. Just add the domains you want to your DNS and point them at the reverse proxy.

      Thanks. It’s the reverse proxy part i’m scared of. For some reason theyve just never clicked with me.

        I get that, they’re a bit confusing at first. I’d highly recommend looking at Caddy, it’s configuration is very simple. Really all you have to do is pick a domain name and point it at the correct port. If you’re only accessing locally you don’t even need to buy a domain.

          I have a domain, but if I don’t have to use it, all the better. So with a reverse proxy, if i don’t want it accessible on the web, i can literally pick anything? I could call it “watch.tv” if i wanted?
