Prerequisites

Setup Wildcard DNS Record(s) for machine running GoDoxy, e.g.

• A Record: *.domain.com -> 10.0.10.1
• AAAA Record (if you use IPv6): *.domain.com -> ::ffff:a00:a01

How does GoDoxy work

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.

Setup

NOTE: GoDoxy is designed to be (and only works when) 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/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/yusing/godoxy/main/scripts/setup.sh)"

3. Start the container docker compose up -d and wait for it to be ready

4. You may now do some extra configuration on WebUI https://godoxy.yourdomain.com

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 it yourself

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

2. Install / Upgrade go (>=1.22) and make if not already

3. Clear cache if you have built this before (go < 1.22) with go clean -cache

4. get dependencies with make get

5. build binary with make build
