The first few steps involved installing Traefik with Docker, adding HTTPS support through Let's Encrypt, and reconfiguring my web containers to use it. The next step was to add a dnsmasq rule to my Pi-hole so that all requests would be redirected to the subdomain I chose (I used servername.mydomain.com as the base host in Traefik). However, on my Mac, I'm not always using my Pi-hole's DNS, usually when I need to circumvent the ad-blocking. I accomplish this through macOS' native support for network locations.
For several years now, I've been using IP addresses and ports to access services that I run on my home server. However, I decided it was time to switch to using a domain instead. I had heard about Traefik and Caddy in r/HomeServer and r/homelab and chose to try out Traefik, mainly because it had native support for Docker labels.
I used Homebrew to install and configure dnsmasq: brew install dnsmasq. I then opened the configuration file for dnsmasq from its place in /usr/local/etc/dnsmasq.conf and added the line below. If you changed the location of your Homebrew install, run brew --prefix, then replace /usr/local with the value.
