Very nice video, this setup is more convenient than my own dns server.
For anyone using a fritzbox router: You have to add your full domain as an exception to the "DNS rebind protection", because the fritzbox does not allow DNS resolution of domain names that point to private ips to protect against DNS rebinding attacks

This video could not have come at a better time! I've just started putting together my own home server and I've been driving myself insane with self-signed certificates. Thanks!

[clabretro]

This is the simplest way to tackle certs I've seen, definitely trying this! I've been putting it off in my homelab for ages.

[Luniii]

Wow, thank you for this video! I didn't know (or think of) that you could point a domain name to a private IP address. That makes creating SSL certificates super easy like this! Love you <3

[NinjaNips]

I’ve literally been looking for a tutorial like this for long 😫😫😫 thank you ❤

[CharlieBasta]

Yet another great video Wolfgang. Outstanding work. I've been wanting to do this for a while for my homelab and this video is the push I needed. Thank you.

[BallerBubi]

This solution is simply brilliant. I was searching for years for such an amazing and simple solution. Thank you.

[Andoresu]

wait y'all are using an application to manage your nginx reverse proxy? I was editing config files like a madman here 😭

[chaejunhee]

I was almost giving up, but I saw the video and the kind explanation was sweet rain for a beginner like me. Thank you so much

[JmonteroArg]

This video was right on time!
I was exploring how could I deploy things locally without deal with IPs and cert issues.
Very valuable info, thanks for sharing.

[seanys]

Good to see a well done tutorial on the exact thing I’ve been trying to achieve for ages!

[MartinKL]

Lots of information in this video, thank you. The text-blog was very helpful to see the commands without copying them from the video.

[dj_odradeck]

I use exactly this setup for over a year and it just works flawlessly. Even auro-renewing the let's encrypt cert works without any issues.

[revilo]

Tausend Dank Wolfgang. This is exactly what I was looking for. I was this close to setting up my own CA and getting a headache trying to add the root certs to all the devices.

[MrMoogle]

My man! You are my hero. I've watched so many videos trying to figure out how to do this exact thing and you explained it all so perfectly. And the written guide to accompany it was an added bonus and very much appreciated. Thank you, sir!

[solidus]

Thank You, I had been using an SSL per domain, didn't know you could create just one SSL cert. Now i do an have it set up thanks.

[adryanobrum]

Another great video. Clean and simple. Please, you need to teach us how to configure a home assistant dashboard like yours! 🤟

[vamshikrishnaanandesi]

Thank you for this video, have always been wanting to access all my services through https rather than typing in my IP every time but couldn't as I thought it will take some time for me to study the nuances of the process. This has been an easy and fast setup.

[nightyeve]

Thankss !
Love how clear and fast you explain everything
