Container to container domain aliases

[jmotes]

Is there a way to configure Orbstack to allow containers defined in my docker-compose to communicate with each other using the *.orb.local domains?

I'm working on a headless WordPress project with a Next.js frontend. I'd like for clientside requests and Node.js to both be able to communicate back to WordPress using the same domain (https://admin.thrive.orb.local/).

I've resorted to adding a caddy container and setting up aliases for it in the docker-compose and installing the caddy root cert in the WordPress container, but it would be nice if Orbstack could handle all this itself.

This seems to be related to https://github.com/orgs/orbstack/discussions/982 but isn't quite the same. I believe I was able to work around the issue there by adding a mu-plugin for local dev that forces $_SERVER['HTTPS'] = 'on';

This is already supported, but we don't provide automatic HTTPS for container-to-container connections. Subscribe to #1159 for updates.

I missed that issue. Subscribed. Thank you!
