How do you guys set internal domains?
Say i dont want to type 192.168.1.100:8096 and want a url instead, say jellyfin.servername - how would I go about that? I don’t want it exposed online via reverse proxy. I don’t need certs. No port forwarding on the router.
How do I type ‘jellyfin.servername’ into a browser and being up the jellyfin dashboard?
You can add an entry to your /etc/hosts file for the IP part, but this cannot remove the need to specify the port number as it is unrelated to the domain/IP
Another option: you can enter local ip’s for your DNS entries. I have a lot of subdomain A entries that point to my local caddy container 192.168.1.132. Just ping paperless.cwagner.me to see an example.
For certificates, I use DNS validation.

The host isn’t really the issue. It’s the container. How do I access the container with a name rather than number.

If you have your own DNS server you can set a hostname there like ‘jellyfin.myserver’ and have that accessible from your internal network. If you want to do so on your PC you can edit your hosts file to add a custom entry. https://www.hostinger.com/tutorials/how-to-edit-hosts-file
Wolfangs Channel had a video about that a few weeks ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlcVx-k-02E
I didn’t try it myself yet, but judging from his other videos, he’s not a complete idiot, so I assume it’s solid advice.
You can configure a local only DNS
You’ll need a reverse proxy.
