What are you using for your internal url?

What is everyone using for their internal url vs. their external url?

If I use an internal url I either need to add it to my hosts file or setup a small dns server.

What are most doing?

external_url: "https://my-ddns-service.net:8123"
internal_url: "https://192.168.1.102:8123"

Are you using a cert for your internal ip adddress?

I use self signed certs.

external_url: https://MY_URL.duckdns.org
internal_url: http://10.0.0.100:8123

I manage ssl with a reverse proxy.

Hairpining in my router takes care of not actually going outside my network.

external_url: https://MY_URL.some.dns
internal_url: https://MY_URL.some.dns:8123

I registered a DNS name years ago and use it externally and internally. I have an Amahi install running but wouldn’t go there today. You could run a lightweight DNS like dnsmasq on an rpi and have it serve up internal names. Then adjust your router to give out the internal server as primary DNS.

Yea, I was running DNSMASQ but have not turned it back on as I just didn’t need it at the time.
