This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/selfhosted

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale

  • zoraxy

    General purpose (reverse) proxy and forwarding tool for networking noobs. Now written in Go!

  • Having said that, until Zoraxy matures a little (https://github.com/tobychui/zoraxy) NPM is the most user friendly reverse proxy.

  • selfhosted-apps-docker

    Guide by Example

  • Caddy is my choice after trying few. This guide could be helpful.

  • 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.

  • Traefik-v2-examples

    Traefik v2 guide by examples

  • Traefik that I tried first is very powerful but there are few abstraction layers and bit of complexity that I felt like I had to re-learn it every time I was about to do a change. But it is very powerful in dynamic enviroments where one spins often enough more new containers.

  • nix

    Nix, the purely functional package manager

  • when using docker i really like using traefik, but now i run NixOS and use nginx and NixOS modules to configure it. Works really well so far.

  • Cosmos-Server

    ☁️ The Most Secure and Easy Selfhosted Home Server. Take control of your data and privacy without sacrificing security and stability (Authentication, anti-DDOS, anti-bot)

  • For a beginner I would recommend NPM or Cosmos.

  • nanocl

    Distributed System that simplifies the management of containers and virtual machines.

  • I personally use nanocl i made it with the help of couple of friends.
