GoDoxy
A simple, fast reverse proxy with automatic HTTPS in Go
GoDoxy is a lightweight reverse proxy written in Go designed to sit in front of your self-hosted services and route traffic to them reliably. It focuses on straightforward configuration, modern TLS defaults, and making it easy to expose multiple apps behind a single entrypoint.
Key Features
- Reverse proxy for HTTP/HTTPS services with host-based routing
- Automatic TLS certificate provisioning/renewal (ACME/Let’s Encrypt)
- Support for multiple backends/services behind one proxy
- Configurable upstream targets, headers, and proxy behavior
- Designed to be small, fast, and easy to deploy (Go binary/container)
Use Cases
- Expose multiple homelab services on separate subdomains (e.g., app1.example.com, app2.example.com)
- Terminate TLS centrally and route to internal services on a private network
- Replace ad-hoc per-app web server configs with a single proxy layer
GoDoxy is a practical choice when you want a minimal reverse proxy focused on routing and automated HTTPS, without the operational overhead of larger ingress stacks. It fits well in small-to-medium self-hosted setups where simplicity and predictable behavior matter.
