Hey all,

I am hosting applications on my home network via a raspberry pi in docker containers and I do not want to expose them over the internet. I’m trying to figure out how to configure my home network so that I can route requests going to “api.pi” to my web API running on my RaspberryPi and route “application.pi” to my web application. I’m not familiar with how home network and host names work, so looking for some guidance on how to get this setup.

Yup, that makes since. I feel like since I have pi.local resolving to my raspberry pi on my home network then all I need to do is setup a reverse proxy with nginx or something that maps requests to my API or to my web application. What do you think? Or am I missing a step?

No yeah that’s all you need! NGINX I’d recommend for sure
