Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Personally I’ve used traefik, Nginx and caddy. They’re all interesting in their own ways. My little docker setup is currently using caddy-docker-proxy. It’s been set and forget for me. You might need some adjustments based on your TLS requirements etc.
Insecure mode is enabling the dashboard.
Edit: if you get stuck here's a quick demo Lemmy config. I have a traefik 3.0 instance setup there as well.
ah ok, I got it working now, guess I have to use an nginx container anyway to host static stuff tho, the config being attached to a container is def a nice thing
For those using traefik I would recommend the dynamic file config. You don't have to take down your containers just to change a proxy setting.
With labels you just update the service definition by redeploying the stack; the dynamic file provider adds nothing in most circumstances.
You certainly don't need to take down your container except to change things that are part of the Traefik static configuration.
by redeploying the stack
That's the point. With dynamic files you can add new Middleware or even route already exposed ports all on the fly. You're telling me you can change a docker label and keep your service running with 0 downtime?
If you've figured that out please share a link because my experience has been otherwise.
Close enough to 0 downtime that it doesn't matter.
- Deploy updated stack file to existing stack
- existing services are updated
- Traefik polls the docker socket and notices updated labels
- ???
- Profit!
Seriously, you shouldn't need to put anything (outside of rules that you want to re-use [e.g. http->https middleware]) in the traefik dynamic configuration because each container/service in a docker stack will bring with it its own configuration. Your only 'dead time' is how long it takes Traefik to pick up the new dynamic configuration via either the docker or swarm providers, which is configurable but I've never had to touch because, even on production systems, it's been fine.
you can also try Varnish cache is a web application accelerator that is used as caching HTTP reverse proxy.
