How do you guys set internal domains?

Say i dont want to type 192.168.1.100:8096 and want a url instead, say jellyfin.servername - how would I go about that? I don’t want it exposed online via reverse proxy. I don’t need certs. No port forwarding on the router.

How do I type ‘jellyfin.servername’ into a browser and being up the jellyfin dashboard?

    I currently use a custom filter/rewrite in AdGuard Home (similar to pihole).

    An alternative to running a central dns server is to use mDNS. You can install a daemon on each server that you want to access via hostname, and then clients know that ServerName.local domains should be resolved using mdns. They send out a dns query to a local multicast IP, the daemon on the servers receives the query and the appropriate one responds. By design it’s local only.
