A reverse proxy will achieve what you’re looking for, yes. I do precisely what you’re describing. I use “local DNS” on my pihole, with CNAMEs for each service pointing to my server IP address. I’m running Caddy on the server, specifically this (because my services are running in Docker containers): https://github.com/lucaslorentz/caddy-docker-proxy
As far as a “dashboard” app, you have options there as well. I’m using Heimdall currently, but Homarr also looks pretty nice.
I’ll keep that in mind, thanks.
Tangentially related: I’ve had this exact problem with quite a few games. Most recently, Subnautica: Below Zero. I often pause a game, go take care of a chore or something, then come back to having no controller input. Only recourse seems to be to exit the game and start it back up again. Using an 8bitdo Ultimate (non bluetooth) controller at the moment, Steam Deck connected to the official dock.
Anyone else have this issue? Any remedies you’re aware of?
For hosting multiple web apps, what you probably want is a reverse proxy. I recently started using Caddy (specifically Caddy-Docker-Proxy), and I’m liking it. There’s also Traefik, nginx, etc.
For other types of services, you can simply map whatever (available) port you like in your docker compose file. See here: https://docs.docker.com/compose/networking/
Steam Deck.
I’ve never owned a decent gaming machine, for various reasons. Cost was a big factor. Another was the fact that I was never a big “gamer”. Very little desire to play the big, popular, AAA games in general. The games I did play, I played on a very old PC, and the performance was what you’d expect from low end hardware; but I just never had any desire to build my own gaming rig.
The Steam Deck is perfect for my use case:
I think I’ve probably played more new (to me) games since buying my SD than in all the years (decades) previous, and I love it.
Nextcloud maybe? Not specifically geared toward collaborative music recording, but maybe you could come up with a good workflow.
It’s an interesting use case. I’d be curious to see what you (and/or others) come up with.
Ha. I haven’t been a regular listener for probably a couple years now. He’s been saying that for a while, but I always assumed/guessed he was mostly joking. Has he stated officially that’s when he’ll be retiring?
Maybe not what you’re looking for, but Security Now! seems to fit that bill. TWiT has a bunch of other shows as well, covering a range of topics. I can honestly say I’ve never encountered any bigoted hosts or guests on the shows I’ve listened to.
If you like Hollow Knight, check out the Ori games if you haven’t already. They’re on sale on Steam right now for super cheap. I didn’t enjoy them as much as Hollow Knight, but they’re a lot of fun in my opinion. Very satisfying gameplay.
I started a game last night. Looks cool. Nice to see some melee combat.
I think I’ll replay Blind Forest on a higher difficulty first. It was pretty easy on Normal.
I just finished Ori and the Blind Forest and it was a lot of fun. Really well done game in my opinion. Similar to Hollow Knight, if you’ve played that.
If you haven’t played Hollow Knight, play Hollow Knight.
I love mine. It’s my primary (and only) gaming machine. I’ve gotten a lot of use out of it. I play it docked, with a controller, more often than not; but it’s also really nice to bring on a trip for downtime at a hotel, playing outside on the patio, etc. Would be great for sitting on the couch with family. I play it in bed sometimes, too, but it’s a bit too heavy for that for a lot of people. I just let it rest on a pillow, or even on its case, when I’m playing in bed.
Overall it was a great purchase. Very pleased with it.
Some friends recommended this over and over for the longest time. I was never really interested, as it didn’t seem like the kinda game I’d be into (2D, platformer, “metroidvania”? - wtf is that?).
I finally caved in and gave it a shot. I was super frustrated at first. I was just really bad at it. Fast forward a few months and I’ve played it through at least a few times. Last playthrough got me the “Speed Completion”, “Steel Soul”, and “Steel Heart” achievements.
Easily one of my favorite games of all time. Super excited for Silksong.
OP listed two solutions they were considering, one of which explicitly mentioned using a reverse proxy. The other mentioned using a “dashboard app”. Commenters have given useful advice regarding both.
