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

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

   /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:

   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
  • Manage routes, config, containers, logs, metrics, and uptime from the WebUI
  • Use multi-node Docker setups
• Automatic routing
  • Discover Docker and Podman containers
  • Hot-reload config and container state changes
  • Manage Let’s Encrypt certificates with DNS-01 providers
• Traffic management
  • HTTP reverse proxy
  • TCP/UDP port forwarding
  • OpenID Connect SSO
  • ForwardAuth integration, e.g. TinyAuth
  • HTTP middlewares
  • 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

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:

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:

sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://github.com/yusing/godoxy/raw/refs/heads/main/scripts/install-agent.sh)" -- update

Uninstall:

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

Build from source

1. Clone the repository git clone https://github.com/yusing/godoxy --depth=1

2. Install / Upgrade go (>=1.22) and 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
