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.

    If you’re not hosting any publicly available services, then no. A reverse proxy would be unnecessary. You can just just set static records in your DNS server that tell it which internal hostname goes with what IP and it will relay that info to any device on your local network that requests it. Even with a Wireguard connection, you can tell it to use the DNS server from your local network.
