How to reach different services on the same machine via name instead of ip+port? (lemmy.world)

On my Lan I have 192.168.1.111 hosting a bunch of various services not containerized. All connections are done either from my internal lan or from wireguard going through 192.168.1.111 so no external traffic bar wireguard.

I've set the host name of 111 in the hosts file inside the router and 111 and it works for all devices expect the ones connecting via wireguard.

But I dont want to have to use hostname+port for every service, I'd like each service to have its own name. I'd also like certs.

Can someone point me in the right direction for what I need to do? I'm thinking maybe this requires a local DNS server which im hesitant to run because im happy using 8.8.8.8.

For certs do I create a single cert on the 192.168.1.111 and then point all the applications to it?

Ok thanks ill give that ago tonight. I never would have thought of a proxy manager.

You can of course do it manually with plain nginx, it's just a little more effort. Good luck :)

I used nginx proxy manager for a while. Nowadays I use caddy, and I wouldn't want to look back. It has no gui but a caddyfile. It works much smoother for me.

Traefik's configs are a little less cumbersome if you're managing a lot of services.
