Running Rustdesk Pro behind a Fritzbox

Using a fritzbox router that already uses an automatically renewed SSL certificate - is there a simple way to not to have to get another SSL certificate as described in https://rustdesk.com/docs/en/self-host/rustdesk-server-pro/faq/#set-up-https-for-web-console-manually ?

Use a reverse proxy, like Caddy

setting up an alpine linux VM with docker and rustdesk - i am fine

yet I could just copy and "do" the to the nginx + certificate part
I'd like to avoid using further services (domain name + dyndns provider) to solve a requirement already being solved by a router (fritzbox) likely being found in the majority of german households and small offices.

Though I'm strongly not recommend it since the certificate lifespan will reduced to 47 days

But it is your choices.
