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.
-
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

There definitely is. All of my local services run on a wildcard cert that I got from a DNS challenge with Let's Encrypt. As long as the reverse proxy can access whatever source is issuing the certificate, and as long as the client browser can access public certificate ledgers and has DNS info about your services, things will work just fine locally.
I recommend Netbird to give access to services to your family members, for access control and for the DNS server it provides. It also gives you the bonus of accessing your services remotely.
Feel free to ask if you have any questions.
Just do not use wildcard, very bad security practice. Getting individual cert for each service is easy these days.
Huh? Why?
for start private keys should never leave the system which uses them. Wildcards are even worse, as if one host got compromised, all others can be spoofed.
Because a stolen cert can do a lot more damage
It is all about least privilege
