Which reverse proxy do you use/recommend?
-
Hahaha, I can totally relate. I think we should think of it as a virtue. Continue the good work
-
I was thinking about putting it from its dedicated VM to opnsense as well. I just don't know yet what the security implications are and also my firewall hardware isn't too beefy so I have to play around with it for a bit.
-
I'll throw in another recommendation for Caddy. I've been using it for years and the few problems/feature suggestions I had got implemented by the developers pretty quickly. They're super active on their forums and I haven't yet run into an issue where I couldn't either figure it out myself or with help from their community forums (usually from a dev.) They're very friendly and won't berate you for simple mistakes like other devs.

Stick with Traefik if you've figured it out. It's much more powerful than NPM in my opinion. If you insist on using NPM, you might want to try NPMPlus, it has more bells and whistles and is more actively maintained.
-
npm/npmplus
-
Yeah I'll stick with Traefik, I know how to use it
-
Ive got a basic workflow for nginx proxy manager now so this isnt super useful but good god that's exactly what i wish nginx was.
-
i use nginx proxy manager but im barely getting by. Theres zero useful documentation for setting up custom paths so everyone uses subdomains. I ended up buying my own domain just so i didnt feel guilty spamming freedns lmao.
-
You can easily get automatic renewal for nginx using certbot.
-
Honest noob question. I currently connect to my self hosted server using Twingate. How would this be different? can you give me an Eli5 what a proxy manager would make my setup better?
-
At that point you might be better off just using Nginx without the gui. SWAG is a nice reverse proxy focused implementation of it.
-
Caddy. I started with npm but I realized it was hiding enough stuff that I wasn't learning anything about managing networking. Caddy is super easy and has lot of sane defaults.
-
This the main reason I switched from traefik, I can have certificates on all my internal stuff and not just on my docker host. I personally love NPM but maybe I'll give NPMPlus a try, I have never heard of it.
-
Nginx from day one.
Well documented, it works.
If something doesn’t work chances are you are a quick googlefu away from the solution. -
I spent far too much on my domain (£3.86 for the year) to change course now!
-
For a while now I've been using either haproxy or nginx depending on my needs. I've hit instances with both where the functionality I want is in the paid version.
-
Ok, stupid question from a stupid person: if I have a phone connected to a local WiFi network, and I type in the URL of a subdomain which points make to that same network ie a hosted service on a home server, what route does the data take from the service back to my phone?
-
You having a domain or not has no bearing on which of these you use lol
-
I use Synology integrated reverse proxy, stupidly simple and always works for me (only if IPv6 doesn't fuck up itself, I can't fallback to IPv4 because that is CGNATED), if I am missing features that other options have I would like to know
-
my laziness does though! ill keep that service in mind though
