I have a PC I have installed Portainer on, with various docker services (home assistant, jellyfin, etc…) with an ISP supplied router fixing various device IP addresses and reaching out to dyndns.
I really want to move everything over to HTTPS connections by supplying certificates, tls termination, etc .
The issue I have is self signed certificates mean I have to manage certificate deployment to everything in the house.
I figure I need to link a domain to the DynDNS entry and arrange certs for the domain. However I can’t make the link function and everywhere wants >£100 to generate a certificate.
How are people solving this issue?
That’s essentially what I ended up having to do, but keep hoping that I’ve missed something.
I also find that people seem to ignore this route, assuming people are fine with public dns pointing at your home ip and http/https ports open.
Gotta live on the edge, man. Open up your router. All ports. Firewalls are for pansies. Connect your laptop directly to the modem. Enable
ssh
andrdp
. What could go wrong?
