A good way to access multiple web UIs on one local device? (lemmy.neoney.dev)

Currently my home server runs a few services that have a web UI. I currently access them by typing in the IP address and port number, but it’s now starting to get annoying to remember the ports.

What’s the best way to handle this?

I’ve thought of two solutions:

I’m running a local DNS server, so I probably would be able to make CNAMEs from something like adguard.server.local to the IP, and do a reverse proxy with something like Caddy
Maybe there’s some unified dashboard app that is a reverse proxy with some simple frontend where I can just navigate to server.local and click a button to choose which specific service I want to see?

What are your opinions on this?

I mean, if you're problem is just remembering to type "10.0.0.100:8080" you could just have browser bookmarks. But that's not very selfhosty. 😁

Personally, I've got a bit of #1 and #2 going on.

I've got Nginx Proxy Manager in docker that rev proxies pretty much everything and adds SSL on top. I am running an inside DNS zone, so I have a bunch of CNAMEs that all point to the host running NPM. Lastly, I'm using Dashy as the front end to it all.
