Should I use a reverse proxy in a homelab? (lemmy.world)

My setup exists of one local server that basically hosts Jellyfin and an arr stack. I only access this server locally with PC, TV and phone, however I might setup a Wireguard based remote access in the future.

Should I use a reverse proxy like Caddy so I can access the different containers with a local domain name like jellyfin.myserver.local?

I am also interested in hosting Adguard home but how can this work together with Caddy, won't they both conflict as a DNS server?

I appreciate any possible advice on these topics.

Thank you.

For sure.

At some point, your services could easily warrent it. If you learn it early, it makes it much easier to organize your services and share them with others if you decide to.

Also, if you do decide to use a domain name, you probably won't be able to use it internally to your network. If you use Adguard, you can use DNS rewrite to only direct your traffic to your server when you're in your network.

Also, personally, I use nginx, but I'm more than happy to give you any advice on setup or reverse proxy.
