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.

   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

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
