On my Lan I have 192.168.1.111 hosting a bunch of various services not containerized. All connections are done either from my internal lan or from wireguard going through 192.168.1.111 so no external traffic bar wireguard.
I’ve set the host name of 111 in the hosts file inside the router and 111 and it works for all devices expect the ones connecting via wireguard.
But I dont want to have to use hostname+port for every service, I’d like each service to have its own name. I’d also like certs.
Can someone point me in the right direction for what I need to do? I’m thinking maybe this requires a local DNS server which im hesitant to run because im happy using 8.8.8.8.
For certs do I create a single cert on the 192.168.1.111 and then point all the applications to it?
You need a thing called reverse proxy. There are many available.
Some suggested nginx, I recommend to give a try to caddy. It’s easier than nginx and includes the certificate management as well.
NPM, Nginx Proxy Manager also has a UI and certificate management.
I would consider zoraxy.

Single go binary, works on Windows natively if you need that and somewhat more feature rich than npm (if your not custom writing configs)
Currently using nginx-proxy-manager for exactly this purpose. Nice and easy-to-use UI, including automatic LetsEncrypt ssl certificates :)
+1 for caddy, I’ve been using it in my homelab for years and the configuration is just trivial
