EDIT: I'm going to use LetsEncrypt, DNS challenge, and then either configure Caddy to use DNS challenge, or switch to another proxy.

This will also work nicely with my VPN, so all's good there.

Thanks all. If you're going to suggest LetsEncrypt DNS challenge, I'm with you. Something else? Love to hear it!

SSL/TLS question for folks.

I run a number of services inside my home network. Since they're all local, I run them without SSL/TLS, so plain http. The problem is modern browsers complain loudly when you use a non-encrypted service.

I can't use LetsEncrypt because the services are local only, not exposed to the Internet.

I could make a self-signed certificate, but that will cause some applications to fail since self-signed certs are generally frowned upon, and I can't easily add my CA certificate to every device in my home.

Do you run a homelab with web services? If so, how do you handle this problem.

@serge another option is Tailscale, which is also pretty great for a number of other purposes. I don’t even come close to using its full feature set, but it’s rainy helpful for securely managing a local network, and especially for accessing it from outside the house.
