"Because all of my services share the same IP address"

DNS. SNI. RLY?

That's a bit weird to read for me as well. DNS and local DNS were the first services I've been self-hosting since 2005.

On Debian/Ubuntu, hosting local DNS service is easy as `apt-get install dnsmasq` and putting a few lines into `/etc/dnsmasq.conf`.

These modern-day homelabbers will do anything to avoid DNS, looks like to them it's some kind of black magic where things will inevitably go wrong and all hell will break loose.
Not to diminish having names for everything but that just shifts the Bitwarden problem to "All of my services share the same base domain."
