Comment on Can you have local reverse proxies?

People already talked about hosting your own DNS, let me add that a reverse proxy would be used for something like mapping myhome.local:8000 to myhome.local/jellyfin.

Generally speaking, a subdomain like jellyfin.myhome.com will work out much better than a subpath like myhome.com/jellyfin.

Very few web apps can deal well (or at all) with being used under a subpath.

  Using reverse proxies is common enough now that quite a few apps can deal with subpaths, and for the ones that can’t you can generally get nginx to rewrite the paths for you to make things work.

  Well, whatever works. Your example wouldn’t need a reverse-proxy.
