Should I use a reverse proxy in a homelab? (lemmy.world)

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’m curious what made it that complicated. Was the Synology OS (DSM they call it right?) fighting you along every step or something? As far as I know it’s a custom Linux OS but I have no idea what it’s based on, or if it’s even based on a specific distribution… I could definitely see it being a challenge depending on the answers haha.

I don't know what he is talking about, this can be easily done from the DSM UI, also you don't even need to mess with the certs expiring as it auto renews them.
