so i've got sonarr and sabnzbd in docker containers on my server. when
adding sabnzbd as my downloader, i want to use the url
https://sabnzbd.lan.

so basically, i want to be able to access https://sabnzbd.lan from any
device on my lan, without having to hit up an external CA or manually
add certs to my device.

if it helps, i'm using caddy atm, but am open to switching to a
different reverse proxy if needed.

is it possible? can anyone point me in the right direction?

thanks!!!

The canonical way is to setup your own certificate authority. Usually
you see something like Smallstep recommended at the homelab level.

Smallstep or OpenXPKI is your friend

I use [this method](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlcVx-k-02E).
A real domain is required, but you can just use a free subdomain.

just create dummy certs like your docker container is doing. https
requires certificates
