  • Cross-Platform support
    • Supports linux/amd64 and linux/arm64
  • Efficient and Performant
    • Written in Go

Prerequisites

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

Setup

Note

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/bash -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

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

Note

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 output from nodes
  • LXC Logs: Stream real-time journalctl output from containers

API Endpoints

# Node journalctl (WebSocket)
GET /api/v1/proxmox/journalctl/:node

# LXC journalctl (WebSocket)
GET /api/v1/proxmox/journalctl/:node/:vmid

# LXC lifecycle control
POST /api/v1/proxmox/lxc/:node/:vmid/start
POST /api/v1/proxmox/lxc/:node/:vmid/stop
POST /api/v1/proxmox/lxc/:node/:vmid/restart

Update / Uninstall system agent

Update:

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

Uninstall:

bash -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 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
