subspace VS nginx-proxy

When I look into vpn servers, I find easy installers, which directly work on linux (e.g. angristan/wireguard-install) or also vpns, which operate from docker (like kylemanna/docker-openvpn). Then there are options, where multiple things are included, like firezone or this. I am not so sure how well they integrate with my reverse proxy and some seem to be much more complicated than others.

Subspace

That is nice to see, I was looking at subspace last week and the last commit to https://github.com/subspacecloud/subspace had led me to believe it had withered and died, I was guessing due to the primary backing company having died?

So it is quite nice to see that it is living on as a fork.

Another UI-enabled alternative for WireGuard is Subspace. And another simple-as-hell option for managing VPN profiles (with OpenVPN and WG compatibility, but no web interface) could be running PiVPN on any Ubuntu/Debian host.

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.
