nginx-proxy VS gotenberg

I have an express API that runs on EC2 and I am using nginx-proxy

If Traefik is not your thing Im happily using https://github.com/nginx-proxy/nginx-proxy and sslip.io for local docker compose development.

And then even plain nginx to proxy to non docker services...

(And ipv6 for really short urls. E.g. `example.com.--1.sslip.io` etc)

I wanted to share with you an exciting new tool that simplifies the process of interacting with the NGINX Proxy Manager API. It's a TypeScript tool that generates API requests based on environment variables within a Docker container. This tool is heavy influenced by the https://github.com/nginx-proxy/nginx-proxy but it works with npm.

I use an automatically configuring reverse proxy - there's several to choose from, but the nginx-docker image is really nice, and comes with another image to do automatic SSL with certbot (if you wanted to host things externally).

Docker runs on the 3B+ so you could use this [Github] or the one I have deployed here [NGINX Proxy Manager site] amongst others.

- and this

docker compose + wildcard dns + reverse proxy that covers all widecard subdomains + https://github.com/nginx-proxy/nginx-proxy (not to be confused with nginx itself) then setup a container for each app and set a subdomain for it, you can add ssl if you have a public domain or use self signed certs (but you need to distribute it to all machines and devices)

setting up letsencrypt with nginx-proxy and acme-companion

We use the nginx-proxy docker image. Auto-configuring reverse proxy with support for certbot. Never been easier - just put your domain and certbot details in your container env, and it does the rest.

I just use the nginx-proxy image, makes it all super easy, auto-configuring, and all domain/cert information is stored against the project rather than the proxy.

Use a server-side headless browser such as puppeteer to convert the HTML to PDF. This is the most reliable free option, but requires a server. If you need to use it in production, we recommend you use Gotenberg.

We're using Gotenberg[1] to convert a rendered web page (with Elixir/Phoenix, in our case) to PDF. Works like a charm and we can use our existing frontend code/styling (including SVG graph generators) which is a huge bonus.

If you also want to convert Markdown or LibreOffice formats, the self-hosted API Gotenberg is worth checking out

I found a project that does exactly that (https://github.com/gotenberg/gotenberg). It’s my best bet for now, but I still need to test GraalVM integration with JS runtimes (and test JS libraries) and the Kotlin compiler targeting Node.

Gotenberg is a Docker-based stateless API for PDF generation from HTML and Markdown files.
