I want to host a Vaultwarden (or Bitwarden if necessary) instance, but it keeps asking for a domain and a SSL certificate. I dont own a domain and dont want to enable port forwarding on my router to expose it to the outside.

Is it possible to host a instance only internally and access it via the IP or a domain set on my local DNS? How about SSL is it possible and/or necessary?

@Linsensuppe@feddit.org it is possible to create your own certificates, but I highly recommend buying a domain (for 1-2 dollars a year) and use lets encrypt for the certificates, otherwise you will have to deal with a lot of issues (like generating and installing your own root certificates)
