Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Focus on DNS for the host machine and it's port mappings, not the individual containers.
If you're instead asking "How can I easily map a DNS name to service and port?", then you want a reverse proxy on your host machine, like nginx (simplest) or Traefik (more complex, but geared towards service discovery and containers).
In the latter scenario you setup a named virtual host for each service that maps back to the service port exposed for your containers. Example: a request for jellyfin.localdomain.com points to the host machine, nginx answers the request and maps the host name in the request, then proxies your session to the container.
It's copy and paste for the most part once you get the first one going unless you're dealing with streaming.
If you're running a flexible platform on your router like OpenWRT, you could also do some port forwarding as a means to achieve the same thing.
This is what I was think also. Just let the host rproxy the requests and just map the dns to the host in opnsense.
