GoDoxy

GoDoxy is a lightweight, performance-focused reverse proxy designed for self-hosters, with automatic routing based on container metadata and a built-in Web UI. It can manage HTTPS certificates, apply access controls, and proxy traffic to services across single or multiple nodes.

Key Features

• Reverse proxy for HTTP services plus TCP/UDP port forwarding
• Automatic route discovery from Docker/Podman containers via labels, with hot-reload on changes
• Web UI with app dashboard, configuration editor, uptime and system metrics, and container log viewing
• Automatic TLS certificate management with Let's Encrypt (including DNS-01 challenge support)
• Access control lists (ACL) with request/connection level rules (for example IP/CIDR)
• SSO options via OpenID Connect and ForwardAuth integration
• Optional idle-sleep behavior to stop and wake workloads based on traffic (including support for Docker containers and Proxmox LXCs)

Use Cases

• Publish and secure multiple self-hosted web apps behind a single gateway with automated HTTPS
• Centralize routing and basic access control for homelab services using container labels
• Reduce resource usage by auto-sleeping seldom-used services and waking them on demand

Limitations and Considerations

• Some ACL features rely on MaxMind configuration for geo/timezone-based rules
• Designed to run in host network mode, which may constrain certain deployment patterns

GoDoxy fits well in homelab and small-server environments where container-driven routing, a convenient UI, and automated TLS are priorities. It combines reverse proxying, basic orchestration-like automation, and authentication integration to simplify operating self-hosted services.
