Hi,
what I would like to have is i link subdomain.domain.tld to an docker container running on my server. I was thinking about using cloudflare tunnel or nginx proxy manger, traefik,.... what would you recommend me since im not a professional at managing servers or linux.

    I use docker -> setup nginx reverse proxy -> cloudflare domain reverse proxy. Only works for HTTP/HTTPS though.

  • dosaidosai Member

    I use caddy.

    Afaik caddy is a webserver and not a reverse proxy?

    Im not sure if i have enough knowledge to get this working :/

    We assign a public IP address to the Docker container and set AAAA record to this address.
    UFW firewall rules control which ports are allowed through.

    For web application, we setup Caddy HTTP server on the host machine, which terminates TLS and provides reverse proxy into containers.

    Caddy can be both. It is very easy to use.

    +1 Nginx proxy.
    Nginxproxymanager.com is very simple

    It may seems confusing at first, but if you learn and do it slowly and getting it, it not as hard as you may imagine, i learn it no more than 3 days from google youtube etc.

    I use apache mod proxy for navidrome running on docker before.

    Caddy is worth learning, real time-saver

    Nginx Proxy Manager if simply need something that works and you don't wanna learn anything

    Treafik isn't worth learning if you don't plan on configuring large kubernetes clusters

    Cloudflare if you are ok with letting someone else manage your server + just finish the job faster so you can watch one more netflix episode, together with your girlfriend

    I use Caddy, sometimes Caddy -> nginx -> backend thing if I need caching. Caddy's caching plugin has too many issues for me.

    I would just use cloudflare tunnel, pretty good.

    What do you think of zoraxy? As easy as nginx proxy manager or caddy?, since I played already a little bit with nginx proxy manager. One plus for the cloudflare tunnels is that I can hide the server ip. Since it's already mentioned here in the thread, cloudflare tunnels are run and forget imo, or am I wrong with that? Anything I could run into limits with cf tunnels which caddy could handle?

    for me more complicated
    1 .cloudflare domain proxy to IP VPS
    2. docker and nginx reverse proxy on VPS, then use tailscale, point to IP of VPN to host
    3. host (home server) using aapanel with reserve proxy nginx

  • nobizzlenobizzle Member

    traefik is lovely, once i understood how to use it after years of nginx usage.

    Email service is hosted by mxroute, so just pointing the whole domain to the server is not possible, atleast for me atm, technically there is for sure a solution

    Caddy is so much easier to use and maintain than the rest, I highly recommend it.
    It's also extremely performant.

    The only issue with caddy is installing it is not as straightfroward as the other options.

    Here's all you need to reverse proxy to a docker container with caddy, it also includes the CloudFlare ACME DNS plugin so that you can issue certficates with DNS verification.

    sub.domain.com {
  tls {
    dns cloudflare <cloudflare key goes here>
  }

  reverse_proxy localhost:8080 {
    header_up X-Real-IP {http.request.header.CF-Connecting-IP}
    header_up X-Forwarded-For {http.request.header.CF-Connecting-IP}
  }
}

    Thx will try out caddy.
    Right now i was playing around with zoraxy which has, for me, too many options but its also working.

  • FubukiboxFubukibox Member

    caddy is just pain in the ass to configure. i just use nginx (standalone) as a reverse proxy and cloudflare tunnels.

    I am currently building LoadMyCode, its a desktop app for app deploys. it uses caddy and docker for all of its automation.

    Zoraxy looks nice too.

    @lowendtalkxdax said: Treafik isn't worth learning if you don't plan on configuring large kubernetes clusters

    You don't need it for k8s too, nginx-ingress pretty much seems to be the standard.

    I'd also like to mention haproxy, don't let their website fool you,
