I love my homelab, and the more I tune things the more satisfaction I have. I tolerated the “Your connection is not private” for my self-signed SSL certs on my services for way too long.
I just setup NGINX Proxy Manager as a LXC on my Proxmox Server and pointed a subdomain I own to the server. Now I have custom domains for each service along with valid SSL Certificates. It’s all local without exposing anything to the outside world. It’s very satisfying. I tried explaining what I was doing to my GF but she could care less ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Followed this video from Wolfgang’s Channel YouTube (great channel btw), the first minute does a better job explaining the setup. I always thought I would have to setup a local CA which is more work than I was interested in, but this approach was much simpler (and free!).
“not so difficult”
Well thanks, I feel like a complete moron, because that’s a level of complexity way beyond what I could do/manage.
It’s a bunch of terms I don’t know about, but I don’t think it’s very hard after you learn a bit more and understand the reasoning behind the steps.
I’d personally not want to host a personal CA without HA though, so I suppose I’m sticking with EFF for this one
