caddy-l4 VS cert-manager

https://github.com/mholt/caddy-l4 and https://github.com/kadeessh/kadeessh can do SSH forwarding.

3) Use a L4 TCP/UDP plugin for caddy. https://github.com/mholt/caddy-l4

Wireguard gives my service servers their own internal IP for the gateway to reference (nothing fancy done with it, no iptables modifications like you may see on other guides), and I use NGINX for the game server proxying, specifically linuxserver's nginx container. I love Caddy, but even with caddy-l4 I couldn't get it working right for Valheim (and thus UDP), but NGINX worked real quick.

This may help: https://github.com/mholt/caddy-l4

Well, that's a bit off-topic from the parent comment, which was more about the Caddyfile supporting complex config (versus the underlying JSON config) and not really "complex usecases".

But that said, from a quick Google search... was this an RTMP stream? If so, I suppose you'd want to use https://github.com/mholt/caddy-l4 which is a plugin for Caddy that lets you do TCP-layer things. Caddy's standard distribution just ships an HTTP server (plus TLS and PKI, etc), which is layer-7

You might be able to use caddy-l4's "tee" handler to pipe into multiple "proxy" handlers. But I'm not sure anyone's tried this yet, I had no idea people did this sort of thing. I'd be interested to hear if it does work though.

If you are only having your services accessible via LAN, HTTPS isn't totally necessary, but I would still recommend it. I think a reverse proxy will be easier than your described method. Just set it to listen to 443 and have all of your other services on random ports being proxied from the reverse proxy. If you want HTTPS from your reverse proxy to your services, most reverse proxies will have this kind of feature. Here is the caddy L4 raw TCP stream module: https://github.com/mholt/caddy-l4

I had a similar problem a while back and found this project (Caddy-L4). It had no releases or examples on how to build it so I forked it and added some Docker stuff.

"Caddy L4" aka "Project Conncept" might be what you're looking for:

https://github.com/mholt/caddy-l4

"Project Conncept is an experimental layer 4 app for Caddy. It facilitates composable handling of raw TCP/UDP connections based on properties of the connection or the beginning of the stream."

Nice, this is kind of why I made Project Conncept. It's a powerful TCP and UDP stream multiplexer based on Caddy: https://github.com/mholt/caddy-l4

You can route raw TCP connections by using higher layer protocol matching logic like HTTP properties, SSH, TLS ClientHello info, and more, in composable routes that let you do nearly anything.

cert-manager

The second one is a combination of tools: External DNS, cert-manager, and NGINX ingress. Using these as a stack, you can quickly deploy an application, making it available through a DNS with a TLS without much effort via simple annotations. When I first discovered External DNS, I was amazed at its quality.

On top of its core components, SpinKube depends on cert-manager. cert-Manager is responsible for provisioning and managing TLS certificates that are used by the admission webhook system of the Spin Operator. Let’s install cert-manager and KWasm using the commands shown here:

terraform { required_providers { kubectl = { source = "gavinbunney/kubectl" version = "1.14.0" } } } # The reference to the current project or a AWS project data "google_client_config" "provider" {} # The reference to the current cluster or EKS data "google_container_cluster" "my_cluster" { name = var.cluster_name location = var.cluster_location } # We configure the kubectl provider to use those values for authenticating provider "kubectl" { host = data.google_container_cluster.my_cluster.endpoint token = data.google_client_config.provider.access_token cluster_ca_certificate = base64decode(data.google_container_cluster.my_cluster.master_auth[0].cluster_ca_certificate) } #Download the multiple manifests file. data "http" "cert_manager_crds" { url = "https://github.com/cert-manager/cert-manager/releases/download/v${var.cert_manager_version}/cert-manager.crds.yaml" } data "kubectl_file_documents" "cert_manager_crds" { content = data.http.cert_manager_crds.response_body lifecycle { precondition { condition = 200 == data.http.cert_manager_crds.status_code error_message = "Status code invalid" } } } # We use the for_each or else this kubectl_manifest will only import the first manifest in the file. resource "kubectl_manifest" "cert_manager_crds" { for_each = data.kubectl_file_documents.cert_manager_crds.manifests yaml_body = each.value }

SSL certificates thanks to Cloudflare and cert-manager

kubectl apply -f https://github.com/cert-manager/cert-manager/releases/download/${CERT_MANAGER_VERSION}/cert-manager.crds.yaml

put the Sub-CA inside hashicorp vault to be used for automatic signing of services like https://cert-manager.io/ inside our k8s clusters.

install-cert-manager: desc: Install cert-manager deps: - init-cluster cmds: - kubectl apply -f https://github.com/cert-manager/cert-manager/releases/download/{{.CERT_MANAGER_VERSION}}/cert-manager.yaml - echo "Waiting for cert-manager to be ready" && sleep 25 status: - kubectl -n cert-manager get pods | grep Running | wc -l | grep -q 3

I've been pretty frustrated with how private CAs are supported. Your private root CA can be maliciously used to MITM every domain on the Internet, even though you intend to use it for only a couple domain names. Most people forget to set Name Constraints when they create these and many helper tools lack support [1][2]. Worse, browser support for Name Constraints has been slow [3] and support isn't well tracked [4]. Public CAs give you certificate transparency and you can subscribe to events to detect mis-issuance. Some hosted private CAs like AWS's offer logs [5], but DIY setups don't.

Even still, there are a lot of folks happily using private CAs, they aren't the target audience for this initial release.
