I would recommend just using caddy. It removes the complicated part of ssl management. For a local network it'll setup a local self signed certificate authority and you can just install those certificates to any devices on your LAN that you want to have access. For a public setup it'll use letsencrypt. You will still need to setup dns if you want wildcard routing.
If you want to use DNS challenge with Caddy it's kind of annoying though (need to download/compile a separate version with the DNS plugin you need).
Which is probably a good idea if you don't plan to expose the services publicly but want a real certificate to avoid self-signed cert warnings.
I've never had this issue but I run basically everything through docker and presumably it bundles this by default.
