Comment on Noob having fun with Self-Hosting story

I'm in a similar boat, maybe a few steps further down the line than you but not that far.
Something that is really fun is getting a dynamic DNS set up with duckdns, and then put a certificate on it from certbot and then give all of your containers and self-hosted servers am SSL certificate and name using nginx reverse proxy.
If you do that and your Wi-Fi router has a VPN option then you can easily get rid of all of the certificate errors on your locally hosted stuff and navigate directly to them with a name rather than typing in IP addresses.
For me this was daunting but once I actually got it up and running it all made sense.

It’s on my list. I’ve played with DuckDNS in my time with Home Assistant, I used to get external access through it and Nginx and honestly loathed it. I was SO HAPPY when I got Cloudflare working.
I am now working for a global company and I’ve noticed that the intranet here doesn’t have valid SLL certificates at all, which I know is a security concern, so with a bit of research and tinkering I believe I can become more knowledgeable about this kind of thing than the IT manager of our factory. Might help me work up to a position that isn’t on a line anymore.
So yeah, it’s on my list.
