Hey all. Ive been hosting some software for a while now, some private, some public stuff.
Recently ive gotten myself a domain name, and i’m trying to come up with a good way to have access to both the public AND the private on the same URL. Simpleton that i am i thought about putting the public in an inline frame with a banner with links at the top, but im sure there are better ways.
Any ideas how to do this from this community?
Everyone is suggesting cloud flare tunnels which can be easy to use but locks you into a proprietary service. If you want to self host everything, you can set it up yourself with a reverse proxy like traefik

You will end up with service.local.domain.com and service.domain.com for local only apps and internet facing apps, all using HTTPS.
If you are familiar with traefik, watch a tutorial on that first, then come back and watch the above video.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/liV3c9m_OX8
