  • selfhosted-gateway

    Self-hosted Docker native tunneling to localhost. Expose local docker containers to the public Internet via a simple docker compose interface.

  • Second I tried https://github.com/fractalnetworksco/selfhosted-gateway. A good project, and was able to set everything up and got it running. But there's a fatal flaw - on restarts of containers or system the reconnection is not automatic and you have to redo the setup manually (setup is per container based), so this wasn't a viable option either.

  • boringproxy

    Simple tunneling reverse proxy with a fast web UI and auto HTTPS. Designed for self-hosters.

  • Finally, someone in the above project's Matrix room directed me towards boringproxy - https://github.com/boringproxy/boringproxy. This was the perfect solution. No lengthy config files, easy to use and automate. Setup took about an hour and now everything is back up and running. The only issue I've currently not been able to solve is one where the container seems to use a websocket, which keeps getting timed out (will investigate this further tomorrow).

  • frp

    A fast reverse proxy to help you expose a local server behind a NAT or firewall to the internet.

  • I just did the same but with Caddy as webserver with automatic SSL certs and https://github.com/fatedier/frp for tunneling
