Need advice regarding setting up network on LAN with Raspberry Pi
Need advice regarding setting up network on LAN with Raspberry Pi
Title is a bit vague because I don't know the correct terms to phrase it properly.
I have a Raspberry Pi that I use to run jellyfin, transmission, blocky, soju. Recently I added libreddit to it seeing how the rate limits are affecting public instances.
The problem is that currently if I need to go my libreddit instance, I have to go to 192.168.0.x:xxxx which is extremely unfun to type.
Is there a way I can access it more elegantly? One solution I found was to configure blocky with a custom DNS that points to the RPi where I can configure an nginx reverse proxy so that lr.rpi.local for example serves libreddit.
Any other ideas for this?
You're viewing a single thread.
You can configure many routers to act as DNS servers, then advertise themselves to client devices as a DNS server (with a secondary like 8.8.8.8 or whatever). Then you can just use the hostname of the device you want to access and as long as your client device is using your router for DNS it will resolve correctly.
How specifically to set this up depends on your networking equipment
