docker-swag VS Caddy

I have a NAS on .0.181 and a swag container (on a different port than nginx) on .0.180 that points to my public facing services. For obvious reasons, I don't want my public domain to point to any other ports/addresses on my home network. Additionally, as elegant as swag is, it requires authentication and so won't work for simple local DNS. I now have one local domain for each server and an nginx instance on each that resolves to my different services on each.

OP is even linking the Github... https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-swag

I have an UnRAID server with a few services (Jellyfin, Nextcloud, etc.) running on it behind Linux Servers' SWAG reverse proxy container, which is built on Nginx and Let's Encrypt. This is pointed to a DuckDNS link, which is then pointed at my domain with a CNAME. So I can access Jellyfin, for example, at jellyfin.mydomain.com. A few weeks ago, due to seemingly unrelated issues, I got a new modem/router, an Arris SURFboard G34. For the first few weeks, everything was working as before. But now, when on my LAN, I can't get to my services at the proxied domain. It times out every time. There are no errors in SWAG's logs, nothing seems amiss in the router's web interface, and the services are available both at their IP:port address and, when not on my LAN, I can access them at the domain no problem.

Reverse proxy, probably? I use Docker SWAG, setup here, with DuckDNS and it works really well for me. There are of course many ways to reverse proxy, as I linked to earlier.

No, look at the associated unit test: https://github.com/caddyserver/caddy/blob/c6eb186064091c79f4...

If that test fails we could serve PHP source code instead of having it be evaluated, a major security flaw.

However, it's very unlikely that .NET developers will directly expose their Kestrel-based web apps to the internet. Typically, we use other popular web servers like Nginx, Traefik, and Caddy to act as a reverse-proxy in front of Kestrel for various reasons:

I think that recompiling with upgraded Go will not solve the issue. It seems Caddy imports `golang.org/x/net/http2` and pins it to v0.22.0 which is vulnerable: https://github.com/caddyserver/caddy/issues/6219#issuecommen....

Caddy [1] is a single binary. It is not minimal, but the size difference is barely noticeable.

serve also comes to mind. If you have node installed, `npx serve .` does exactly that.

There are a few go projects that fit your description, none of them very popular, probably because they end up being a 20-line wrapper around http frameworks just like this one.

Each app’s front end is built with Qwik and uses Tailwind for styling. The server-side is powered by Qwik City (Qwik’s official meta-framework) and runs on Node.js hosted on a shared Linode VPS. The apps also use PM2 for process management and Caddy as a reverse proxy and SSL provisioner. The data is stored in a PostgreSQL database that also runs on a shared Linode VPS. The apps interact with the database using Drizzle, an Object-Relational Mapper (ORM) for JavaScript. The entire infrastructure for both apps is managed with Terraform using the Terraform Linode provider, which was new to me, but made provisioning and destroying infrastructure really fast and easy (once I learned how it all worked).

So I dug a little deeper and came across this gem: Caddy. Caddy is this fantastic, extensible, cross-platform, open-source web server that's written in Go. The best part? It comes with automatic HTTPS. It basically condenses all the work our scripts and manual maintenance were doing into just 4-5 lines of config. So, stick around and I'll walk you through how to set up an automatic SSL solution with Caddy, Docker and a Node.js server.

Let's use Caddy which can act as reverse-proxy with automatic HTTPS coverage.

Even if it may be simple, it doesn't handle edge cases such as https://github.com/caddyserver/caddy/issues/1632

I personally would make the trade off of taking on more complexity so that I can have extra compatibility.

One of the most heavily used Russian software projects on the internet https://www.nginx.com/blog/do-svidaniya-igor-thank-you-for-n... but it's only marginally more modern than Apache httpd.

In light of recently announced nginx memory-safety vulnerabilities I'd suggest migrating to Caddy https://caddyserver.com/
