I have a domain name and am interested in hosting it on my local network via an Ubuntu desktop. I have configured nginx so I can type in my local IP (when on the network) and it points to my ReactJS application.
My end goal is to be able to type my domain name and have it point to the desktop that is hosting my application (IP = 192.168.1.129).
An additional question is how I would go about accessing the site when outside of my local network without making it accessible to the whole world.

For IP to name resolution, you would need to configure a DNS server in your network. If the number of machines are relatively low, you can edit each machineshostsfile (location varies depending on Linux/Windows OS) and add a static entry in there. For the second part, you'd need to install/configure a VPN server (look at OpenVpn) so that you can connect to your VPN server and then you can access your internal site from outside.
