I’m finally starting to install local web apps that my wife/kids would be interested in, and I know it has to be super easy or they’re never going to go near it. Most everything is running on my Synology on different ports, with absolutely nothing exposed to the outside world, and I’d like to run local DNS and proxy so everything is available LAN-only with an easy hostname - plex.local, paperless.local, etc. (If we want remote access I’ll just run Tailscale.) I’m already running PiHole, and I’m assuming if I poke around I can add local names in there, but has anybody else that’s done this have any suggestions for setting things up?

    Here to ask questions too. Is it necessary to add stuff to etc/hosts for this to work man only? Do I have to do portforwarding on my routeur and to what?

    I’ve been trying to achieve exactly that for a week now and none of my attempts load at all.

    Is there a resource or YouTube guide explaining all this so I actually know what I’'m doing?
