godoxy

The software functions as a lightweight reverse proxy that integrates tightly with container runtimes such as Docker, Podman, and Proxmox LXC. It discovers container routes automatically, handles TLS certificates via Let’s Encrypt using DNS‑01 challenges, and can forward HTTP, TCP, and UDP traffic. A web‑based UI provides a dashboard, configuration editor, real‑time logs, and metrics for both the host and managed containers.

It targets self‑hosted environments where users want to expose services securely without manual proxy configuration. Features include connection‑level access control based on IP, CIDR, country or timezone (requiring a Maxmind account), OpenID Connect SSO, ForwardAuth integration, and automatic load‑balancing across containers. An idle‑sleep mechanism stops idle containers and wakes them on demand, reducing resource usage.

The project is open‑source under the MIT license, runs on Linux amd64 and arm64, and is designed to operate in host network mode. Configuration can be performed through simple Docker labels or the Web UI, and the system offers detailed error messages and periodic access summaries for troubleshooting and monitoring.
