Take a look at traefik, even if you don't use containers

1. traefik

   1 194 53,741 9.6 Go

   The Cloud Native Application Proxy

   

   apparently "traffic" https://github.com/traefik/traefik/issues/795

3. caddy-docker-proxy

   2 57 3,410 6.0 Go

   Caddy as a reverse proxy for Docker

   

   Sticky sessions are supported: https://caddyserver.com/docs/caddyfile/directives/reverse_pr..., and yes it's pluggable so you could write your own LB policy. Very easy, just copy the code from Caddy's source to write your own plugin. Let us know if you need help.

   Also yes, Caddy does service discovery if you use https://github.com/lucaslorentz/caddy-docker-proxy, configuration via Docker labels. Or you can use dynamic upstreams (built-in) https://caddyserver.com/docs/caddyfile/directives/reverse_pr... to use A/AAAA or SRV DNS records to load your list of upstreams.

4. Nginx Proxy Manager

   3 659 25,145 9.1 JavaScript

   Docker container for managing Nginx proxy hosts with a simple, powerful interface

   

   Why trafik over nginx for my modest needs, a couple docker hosts and a few dozen containers. I use https://github.com/NginxProxyManager/nginx-proxy-manager, would trafik provide a benefit on such a small scale?

5. caddy-l4

   4 24 1,148 7.4 Go

   Layer 4 (TCP/UDP) app for Caddy

   

6. traefik-hardened

   5 1 117 6.2

   hardened rootless Traefik v2 deployment without mounting the Docker socket into the Traefik container

   

7. forwardproxy

   6 2 638 4.4 Go

   Forward proxy plugin for the Caddy web server

   

   Yeah, Caddy v1 had a forwardproxy plugin that finally got updated for v2: https://github.com/caddyserver/forwardproxy/

8. kind

   7 211 13,937 9.3 Go

   Kubernetes IN Docker - local clusters for testing Kubernetes

   

   Have you tried https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/? If so, how does it compare to k3s for testing?

10. docker-swag

    8 297 3,151 9.2 Dockerfile

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

    

11. lego

    9 57 8,350 9.4 Go

    Let's Encrypt/ACME client and library written in Go

    

    This is one area where I've found nixos to be really helpful. I can set this up with just adding some lines to the configuration.nix (which uses [lego](https://github.com/go-acme/lego) and letsencrypt in the backend):

    ```nix

12. thruster

    10 7 1,006 6.9 Go

    

    The 37Signals/Basecamp team has been working on a small, opinionated replacement for Traefik called Thruster: https://github.com/basecamp/thruster

    Would be worth checking out, if you're currently considering options.
