I’ve found a way to configure private, custom domains for web-apps I have running on my computer. So instead of having to remember and type “localhost:4333”, I can simply navigate to “appname.localhost”. I love it! Here’s how the system works: Each app is set up as a launchd daemon listening on a unique port. Here’s an example plist. I configure /etc/hosts to redirect traffic to these domains to 127.0.0.1 instead. I then run and configure Caddy to redirect traffic from 127.0.0.1 to the rig
Keywords: 127 configure domains instead localhost
