Which reverse proxy do you use/recommend?
-
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
-
I like NPM, it's simple, but also allows for more complex configs as well if needed. I run it in its own LXC because I have other non-dockerized things that are exposed.
-
having tried many in past, i always go back to haproxy. it has everything required as proxy and load balancer while also being very efficient.
-
I've looked at it but never actually given the Synology proxy a go despite using their DNS server. Does it do auto certificate renewal?
Have you considered using a Cloudflare tunnel to bypass the CGNAT? You can do that into a proxy or straight into the service.
-
same, i've been very happy with Caddy, even with lots of subdomains and weird configs it's been rock solid.
