frp VS Nginx Proxy Manager

Seems to be the exact opposite of https://github.com/fatedier/frp which is a reverse tunnel over a variety of protocols (including HTTP).

I've been self-hosting https://github.com/fatedier/frp on my little box, and it feels insane to think of the times where I didn't have it set up. There are many choices in the space as others pointed out, but frp's capabilities and lightweight packaging blows all other setups out of the water. I placed mine behind nginx with Let's Encrypt for SSL support. Hella fresh!

My setup to do the same:

- small Hetzner instance

- my domain's dns pointing to that instance

- frps[1] running on that instance

- frpc running on my local machine and connected to the cloud frps

An easy service to use is FRP, recently found it and it basically handles making the connection out of the network and is really easy to setup. https://github.com/fatedier/frp I personally having it running on a VPS and the client then running on my local network pointing at a reverse proxy which then handles sending it to the diffrent clients.

No, FRP - https://github.com/fatedier/frp

Another way around is to use reverse proxy like frp but since you need SSH anyway, all you need is already comes with SSH (reverse SSH)

Take a look also onto popular, similar to yours project: frp

You may want to take a look at FRP. It’s the same idea like Cloudflare tunnel, just without all the sophisticated features. You put a server (frps) on a VPS with public IP, and a client (frpc) within your home NAT. It can do both TCP and HTTP reverse proxy. I recommend a simple TCP one, and let your local nginx handle SSL.

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.
