Making nginx easier to use (like Caddy)

• ngman

  A lightweight abstraction layer around nginx and lego

1. Setup a Web Server curl -sL https://github.com/memmaker/ngman/releases/download/v1.0.2/setup.sh | bash -s 2. Startup your service container podman run --name webserver --network podnet -dt docker.io/library/httpd:alpine 3. Add your service to ngman ngman add-proxy http://webserver:80

• lego

  56 7,310 8.9 Go

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

  

It is basically a light-weight abstraction layer around nginx and lego using a podman container.

• Caddy

  403 54,077 9.5 Go

  Fast and extensible multi-platform HTTP/1-2-3 web server with automatic HTTPS

  

I also looked at some alternatives. The most interesting solution to me is Caddy. I also really like Go as language. But when I looked at the performance benchmarks, Caddy is at about 50% of the level that nginx is. And while I like fancy new stuff, I am not fond of running bleeding edge software at the frontal perimeter of my application stack.

• Nginx Proxy Manager

  652 19,902 8.9 JavaScript

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

  

But now I'm only using nginxproxymanager. So much simpler because 80% of my sites are reverse proxies, a few are directly hosted and some are forwardings. nginxproxymanger can do all of these including cert management and has saved me soo much time

• cloudflared
