So maybe I am missing something obvious, but here goes:
I’ve got a small server at home, and I have simply.com pointing various domains to it. Works fine, nginx routs the traffic where it needs to go.
But whenever I am at home and connected to wifi I have to use the internal address and port to reach my server, e.g. 192.168.0.192:8096 for my Jellyfin server. If I use the public URL at home, i hit the login page to my router.
This is annoying when I use apps, as I need to switch between the public URL and the internal address as I come and go from my home…
What are my options for doing something about this? I want to use the public URL at home too…
It depends if your reverse proxy is inside your home network or outside. It should work without any other configuration if you forward ports 80&443 from external domain with something similar to rathole and configure reverse proxy inside home network.
This is not an answer to your question about using the same url, but see this article, it might be helpful. Tl;dr: mdns + reverse proxy.
