OP listed two solutions they were considering, one of which explicitly mentioned using a reverse proxy. The other mentioned using a "dashboard app". Commenters have given useful advice regarding both.

A reverse proxy will achieve what you're looking for, yes. I do precisely what you're describing. I use "local DNS" on my pihole, with CNAMEs for each service pointing to my server IP address. I'm running Caddy on the server, specifically this (because my services are running in Docker containers): https://github.com/lucaslorentz/caddy-docker-proxy

As far as a "dashboard" app, you have options there as well. I'm using Heimdall currently, but Homarr also looks pretty nice.

I'll keep that in mind, thanks.

Tangentially related: I've had this exact problem with quite a few games. Most recently, Subnautica: Below Zero. I often pause a game, go take care of a chore or something, then come back to having no controller input. Only recourse seems to be to exit the game and start it back up again. Using an 8bitdo Ultimate (non bluetooth) controller at the moment, Steam Deck connected to the official dock.

Anyone else have this issue? Any remedies you're aware of?

I've been using the Klymit Pillow X. Working well for me. Packs down pretty small. I bought another one to put between my knees, as I'm a side sleeper, though I haven't had the opportunity yet to try it out.

Off topic, but some friends recently convinced me to give Alone a shot, and I've been enjoying it. I was a bit apprehensive about the whole "reality TV" thing; but thankfully that aspect of it seems about as minimal as I can hope for. Fun show!

That's a fair point. I hadn't thought about that.

Either way is fine, in my opinion. The DLC fits right into the main game; but, if I'm being honest, it does have a slightly different "vibe". The safe bet would probably be to at least play some of the main game first, to at least see if it's your kind of game. You can finish the main game and then pick up right where you left off to play the DLC. Or, half way into your game, or at any point, you can install the DLC. Really up to you.

I've been using this for hiking. Ditched my AllTrails subscription and haven't looked back. Highly customizable. Definitely worth taking a look.

For hosting multiple web apps, what you probably want is a reverse proxy. I recently started using Caddy (specifically Caddy-Docker-Proxy), and I'm liking it. There's also Traefik, nginx, etc.

For other types of services, you can simply map whatever (available) port you like in your docker compose file. See here: https://docs.docker.com/compose/networking/

Nextcloud maybe? Not specifically geared toward collaborative music recording, but maybe you could come up with a good workflow.

It's an interesting use case. I'd be curious to see what you (and/or others) come up with.

If you like Hollow Knight, check out the Ori games if you haven't already. They're on sale on Steam right now for super cheap. I didn't enjoy them as much as Hollow Knight, but they're a lot of fun in my opinion. Very satisfying gameplay.

I use Yatse. Works well. Fits my use case. I play music hosted by Jellyfin either over bluetooth, or to the Sonos in the kitchen.

It's not specifically designed for music, but it works well enough for my use case.

I started a game last night. Looks cool. Nice to see some melee combat.

I think I'll replay Blind Forest on a higher difficulty first. It was pretty easy on Normal.

I just finished Ori and the Blind Forest and it was a lot of fun. Really well done game in my opinion. Similar to Hollow Knight, if you've played that.

If you haven't played Hollow Knight, play Hollow Knight.

I love mine. It's my primary (and only) gaming machine. I've gotten a lot of use out of it. I play it docked, with a controller, more often than not; but it's also really nice to bring on a trip for downtime at a hotel, playing outside on the patio, etc. Would be great for sitting on the couch with family. I play it in bed sometimes, too, but it's a bit too heavy for that for a lot of people. I just let it rest on a pillow, or even on its case, when I'm playing in bed.

Overall it was a great purchase. Very pleased with it.

Some friends recommended this over and over for the longest time. I was never really interested, as it didn't seem like the kinda game I'd be into (2D, platformer, "metroidvania"? - wtf is that?).

I finally caved in and gave it a shot. I was super frustrated at first. I was just really bad at it. Fast forward a few months and I've played it through at least a few times. Last playthrough got me the "Speed Completion", "Steel Soul", and "Steel Heart" achievements.

Easily one of my favorite games of all time. Super excited for Silksong.
