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?

After much suffering with local zones (mainly due to stubborn devices ignoring dns servers coming via dhcp and retarded corporate vpn messing with resolv.conf) I just use xxx.local.mydomain.tld with a small script that parses the leases files and updates the data via cloud flare api.

I ended up doing a similar thing for the same reasons, too many things ignoring my local dns. I ended up creating a subdomain for my house where all the A records had internal ips. I gave out fixed leases to the things with names though instead of dynamic dns updates.

I have static ips for the server-ish things and few important devices too, but for the rest (swarm of shellys, esp32, etc.) I'm too lazy to maintain the list =)
