HTTPS on homelab (just locally) (lemmy.world)

I want my self hosted things to use https. For example, I have Jellyfin installed via docker, and I want it to use https instead of http.

I don't care about necessarily doing this the "right" way, as I won't be making Jellyfin or any other service public, and will only be using it on my local network.

What is the easiest way to do this? Assume everything I host is in docker. Also a link to a tutorial would be great.

Thanks!

There's a few ways, but for example you can use a service like cloudflared which comes with its own certs (and then set up WAF rules to only allow your IP), or you could set something up using let's encrypt via reverse proxy (for example, using Opnsense and the let's encrypt plugin which actually validates domains that aren't otherwise exposed to the internet, there by giving you full blown validated SSL).

If you don't care about validation errors then you can use nginx reverse proxies (locally, not exposing any ports externally) and apply self-signed certs through the proxy regardless of whether or not the software allows SSL config.
