containarr VS Nginx Proxy Manager

not with containarr

Hijacking: I have an example of a good practice here. Feel free to look through the repository's structure, and the configurations in use for inspiration.

quick update: Making alternate configs is a bit more involved than I thought because I hadn't thought about it much. This is being addressed in milestone v0.3.0

"Hi, this is ray the developer of containarr. /u/bigbeansinyachin is an alt account that I made before this one because, well, I hadn't really intended to make a permanent reddit account again before now. But, in the interest of accepting reddit's value in spuring discussion I've decided to change my stance. You can check further development by following at https://github.com/ray-rock/containarr or by going to my account and following up there. I will be back when its time to drop the newest release. In the meantime, I'd like to thank everyone who has participated in this discussion, and those who have followed up on github. Your feedback helps drive this project and introduces me to new concepts, tools, and approaches I might not have otherwise considered. I'll check back periodically to gather/reply to any new feedback before the next release."

Why trafik over nginx for my modest needs, a couple docker hosts and a few dozen containers. I use https://github.com/NginxProxyManager/nginx-proxy-manager, would trafik provide a benefit on such a small scale?

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.
