I have a few selfhosted services, but I’m slowly adding more. Currently, they’re all in subdomains like linkding.sekoia.example etc. However, that adds DNS records to fetch and means more setup. Is there some reason I shouldn’t put all my services under a single subdomain with paths (using a reverse proxy), like selfhosted.sekoia.example/linkding?

    I’ve kinda been trimming the amount of services I’ve exposed through subdomains, it grew so wild because it was pretty easy. I’d just set a wildcard subdomains to my ip and the caddy reverse proxy created the subdomains.

    Just have a wildcard A record that points *. to your ip address.

    Even works with nested domains like “home.” and then “*.home”
