This is why I love Caddy! You can totally forget about complicated 1networking stuff and just let Caddy/Docker handle it all with some application of dark magic.
Save yourself the headache and just lease a domain. Not sure if you can still get them for free, but it's only like $4/year to register a memorable domain. Personally I've been using Cloudflare (a bit more expensive, I think like $12/year) to manage my domain and DNS settings. The convenience as ultra-fast DNS propagation is totally worth it if you're homelab-ing.
If you're hosting a sever at home it's in your best interest to get IPv6 set up. The huge advantage is that IPv6 restores end-to-end direct connections as was originally intended with the internet.
