When you build local apps, typing port numbers gets old fast. Omnideck runs on localhost:46176. A Go microservice sits on another port. A scraper sits on a third. 127.0.0.1:46176 works, but https://omnideck.omni is cleaner and easier to remember.
Plus... it's just cooler. That's not a huge reason to do it, but it doesn't hurt! This guide maps custom .omni domains to local Omnideck instances, but you can use any pattern you like (.mine, .lab, .grid, and so on).
The stack:
HAProxy as the reverse proxy
Homebrew for installs and services
