My setup exists of one local server that basically hosts Jellyfin and an arr stack. I only access this server locally with PC, TV and phone, however I might setup a Wireguard based remote access in the future.

Should I use a reverse proxy like Caddy so I can access the different containers with a local domain name like jellyfin.myserver.local?

I am also interested in hosting Adguard home but how can this work together with Caddy, won’t they both conflict as a DNS server?

I appreciate any possible advice on these topics.

Thank you.

    I didn’t for the longest time but now I use Traefik for this. It can automatically add services (i.e. containers) to it’s routing list so the overhead is low and since I also run openwrt on my router I setup *. localhost to point to 127.0.0.1 so I don’t have to remember what ports I’m using for which service (e.g. jellyfin.localhost). You can also setup DNS entries using something like PiHole.
