## Running demo
<https://demo.godoxy.dev>
## Quick start
Configure Wildcard DNS Record(s) to point to machine running `GoDoxy`, e.g.
- A Record: `*.domain.com` -> `10.0.10.1`
- AAAA Record (if you use IPv6): `*.domain.com` -> `::ffff:a00:a01`
> [!NOTE]
> GoDoxy is designed to be running in `host` network mode, do not change it.
>
> To change listening ports, modify `.env`.
1. Prepare a new directory for Docker Compose and config files.
2. Run setup script inside the directory, or [set up manually](#manual-setup)
```shell
/bin/sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/yusing/godoxy/main/scripts/setup.sh)"
```
3. Start the docker compose service from generated `compose.yml`:
```shell
docker compose up -d
```
4. You may now do some extra configuration on WebUI `https://godoxy.yourdomain.com`
## Key features
- **Simple setup**
- Configure routes with [Docker labels or route files](https://docs.godoxy.dev/Docker-labels-and-Route-Files)
- Manage routes, config, containers, logs, metrics, and uptime from the WebUI
- Use [multi-node Docker setups](https://docs.godoxy.dev/Configurations#multi-docker-nodes-setup)
- **Automatic routing**
- Discover Docker and Podman containers
- Hot-reload config and container state changes
- Manage Let's Encrypt certificates with [DNS-01 providers](https://docs.godoxy.dev/DNS-01-Providers)
- **Traffic management**
- HTTP reverse proxy
- TCP/UDP port forwarding
- OpenID Connect SSO
- ForwardAuth integration, e.g. TinyAuth
- [HTTP middlewares](https://docs.godoxy.dev/Middlewares)
- [Custom error pages](https://docs.godoxy.dev/Custom-Error-Pages)
- **Access control**
- IP/CIDR rules
- Country and timezone rules with a MaxMind account
- Access logging
- Periodic access summaries
- **Idle sleep**
- Stop and wake Docker containers based on traffic
- Stop and wake Proxmox LXC containers based on traffic
- **Proxmox integration**
- Bind routes automatically to nodes or LXC containers
- Start, stop, and restart LXC containers from the WebUI
- Stream node and LXC logs through WebSocket
- **Platform support**
- Linux amd64
- Linux arm64
## How GoDoxy works
1. List all the containers
2. Read container name, labels, and port configurations for each of them
3. Create a route if applicable (a route is like a "Virtual Host" in NPM)
4. Watch for container / config changes and update automatically
> [!NOTE]
> GoDoxy uses the label `proxy.aliases` as the subdomain(s), if unset it defaults to the `container_name` field in docker compose.
>
> For example, with the label `proxy.aliases: qbt` you can access your app via `qbt.domain.com`.

## Proxmox Integration
GoDoxy can automatically discover and manage Proxmox nodes and LXC containers through configured providers.
### Automatic Route Binding
Routes are automatically linked to Proxmox resources through reverse lookup:
1. **Node-level routes** (VMID = 0): When hostname, IP, or alias matches a Proxmox node name or IP
2. **Container-level routes** (VMID > 0): When hostname, IP, or alias matches an LXC container
This enables seamless proxy configuration without manual binding:
```yaml
routes:
pve-node-01:
host: pve-node-01.internal
port: 8006
# Automatically links to Proxmox node pve-node-01
```
### WebUI Management
From the WebUI, you can:
- **LXC Lifecycle Control**: Start, stop, restart containers
- **Node Logs**: Stream real-time journalctl or log files output from nodes
- **LXC Logs**: Stream real-time journalctl or log files output from containers
## Update / uninstall system agent
Installer supports both systemd and Alpine/OpenRC (`rc-service`) hosts.
Update:
```bash
sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://github.com/yusing/godoxy/raw/refs/heads/main/scripts/install-agent.sh)" -- update
```
Uninstall:
```bash
sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://github.com/yusing/godoxy/raw/refs/heads/main/scripts/install-agent.sh)" -- uninstall
```
## Manual Setup
1. Make `config` directory then grab `config.example.yml` into `config/config.yml`
`mkdir -p config && wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/yusing/godoxy/main/config.example.yml -O config/config.yml`
2. Grab `.env.example` into `.env`
`wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/yusing/godoxy/main/.env.example -O .env`
3. Grab `compose.example.yml` into `compose.yml`
`wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/yusing/godoxy/main/compose.example.yml -O compose.yml`
### Folder structure
```shell
├── certs
│ ├── cert.crt
│ └── priv.key
├── compose.yml
├── config
│ ├── config.yml
│ ├── middlewares
│ │ ├── middleware1.yml
│ │ ├── middleware2.yml

```
## Build from source
1. Clone the repository `git clone https://github.com/yusing/godoxy --depth=1`
2. Install / Upgrade [go (>=1.22)](https://go.dev/doc/install) and [`shadowtree`](https://github.com/yusing/shadowtree) if not already
3. Clear cache if you have built this before (go < 1.22) with `go clean -cache`
4. Get dependencies with `shadowtree mod-tidy`
5. Build binary with `shadowtree build`
