If it’s stable, it’s not a lab.
That’s infrastructure.
Let’s tinker around and accidentally break something.
You need monitoring
Kubernetes? New Relic?
Actually, one thing I want to do is switch from services being on a subdomain to services being on a path.
immich.myserver.com -> myserver.com/immich jellyfin.myserver.com -> myserver.com/jellyfinI’m getting tired of having to update DNS records every time I want to add a new service.
I guess the tricky part will be making sure the services support this kind of routing…
Wildcard CNAME pointing to your reverse proxy who then figures out where to route the request to? That’s what I’ve been doing - this way there’s no need to ever update DNS at all :)
I find the path a bit clunky because the apps themselves will oftentimes get confused (especially front-ends). So keeping everything “bare” wrt path, and just on “separate” subdomains is usually my preferred approach.
Why are you having to update your DNS records when you add a new service? Just set up a wildcard A record to send *.myserver.com to the reverse proxy and you never have to touch it again. If your DNS doesn’t let you set wildcard A records, then switch to a better DNS.
Because I’m an idiot. 🤦 Thanks!
