  • wg-easy

    The easiest way to run WireGuard VPN + Web-based Admin UI.

    Check out wg-easy. I've found it relatively painless to configure and get clients connected via wireguard.

  • docker-swag

    Nginx webserver and reverse proxy with php support and a built-in Certbot (Let's Encrypt) client. It also contains fail2ban for intrusion prevention.

    If you're issuing certs, you might as well centralize with a reverse proxy etc etc. -- take a look at something like a combination of Duckdns and SWAG from linuxserver.io (https://docs.linuxserver.io/general/swag), which does a lot of the heavy lifting for integrations with Lets Encrypt.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
