Traefik-v2-examples VS Nginx Proxy Manager

Theres also traefik guide but the contrast in complexity is apparent right away.

Traefik that I tried first is very powerful but there are few abstraction layers and bit of complexity that I felt like I had to re-learn it every time I was about to do a change. But it is very powerful in dynamic enviroments where one spins often enough more new containers.

My first reverse proxy was traefik, but it was just too complex, with too many abstraction layers for my use. I needed to re-learn it every time I went to make changes.

I tried traefik. As I was learning it, which was like a week or two of effort, I actually wrote a guide that somehow got 500 stars on github...

Theres also traefik, that people recommend, but IMO for home stuff it is too complex with too many abstractions. Caddy is literally just giving it port 80 and 443 and a single clean config file.

Traefik is actuall business aimed and powerful and probably worth learning if you would need to manage lot of containers and change stuff dynamically on the fly. But it is just so damn complicated and you kinda need to re-learn it every time you return to it. Here is guide for that one..

You can try look here

Here is a decent guide that gets you going.

Have you considered going caddy instead of traefik?

How to reverse proxy with traefik

I discovered these 3 amazing projects recently:

Cryptpad, essentially google docs/sheets/forms e2e encrypted. It does include collaboration. https://github.com/cryptpad/cryptpad

Immich, google photos self hostable, with share options https://github.com/immich-app/immich

Nginxproxymanager manages certificates and proxies to self hosted stuff through nginx https://github.com/NginxProxyManager/nginx-proxy-manager

Great self hosting stuff!

Nginx Proxy Manager

Take a look at NginxProxyManager. This would give you the opportunity to put everything in the form of service1.domain.com , service2.domain.com ,etc.

Prime example: Nginx Proxy Manager is often recommended in the sub. The latest minor release came with breaking changes (so already ignoring semver). I bet you many people were running on latest and then had broken stuff: https://github.com/NginxProxyManager/nginx-proxy-manager/releases/tag/v2.10.0

I started looking into how to make add dynamic IPs to NPM access lists. I came across a couple of GitHub issues (1, 2) on the topic. It looks like people have solved the problem, but not in a complete way without modifying the NPM docker image. I did not want to do that, so decided looking into writing a separate script.

Here is the (NPM) GitHub issue where the "fork of a fork" image came into existence (lepresidente/nginx-proxy-manager). It has some interesting discussions about the challenges of having NPM and CrowdSec coexist and cooperate.

Agree with this, myQ is such a dumpster fire. It needs to have an the ability to be managed over the local network instead of requiring the garage door and app connect to their server.

My very first experience with myQ was figuring out that their IP blocklist provider, brightcloud, blocks anything with the word "proxy" - including the default "it works" page for Nginx Proxy Manager [1]. And they have no way of overriding this to actually provide service if someone turns out to be a legitimate customer.

Edit: If you're using Nginx Proxy Manager there seems to be open PR for support for proxy protocol https://github.com/NginxProxyManager/nginx-proxy-manager/pull/1882 however in the comments there's a name of repository with this PR merged.
