Comment on Need help: accessing all my containers by name

There’s a few options. Personally I use nginx. You can build a proxy container running nginx, then you can direct traffic to other containers.
I do things like serviceX.my.domain
and that will know to proxy traffic to serviceX. Added benefit is that now you have one ingress to your containers, you don’t need to memorize all of those ports.
I know traefik is a thing that other people like
If you want something real simple you could also do Heimdall, which let’s you register your systems you have running, you open Heimdall first and it’ll direct you to what you have running, but that’s essentially just fancy bookmarks

I looked at Heimdall and came to the same conclusion, I could just whip up a static html page of links, or make bookmarks, easier than maintaining another docker.

Yep, tried it and yeah just a fancy page for bookmarks - although it did make a nice home/landing page for me whenever I opened a new tab.
Nginx is your friend then, set up a good proxy and it’ll be much easier to navigate your network.
