wmantly 94ad6143cc Dockerize the proxy (all-in-one image) + Docker docs
All-in-one Dockerfile bundling OpenResty + the Node mgmt app + Redis in one
container, mirroring the bare-metal ops/install.sh layout:
- Dockerfile (openresty/openresty:1.31.1.1-2-bookworm-fat base; dumb-init PID 1;
  luarocks install lua-resty-auto-ssl/luasocket/lua-resty-ipmatcher; node 22.x;
  npm ci --omit=dev; OpenResty confs + lua copied into place).
- docker-entrypoint.sh: fallback cert, sed-parameterize RESOLVER/REAL_IP_FROM,
  start bundled redis + node app, exec openresty foreground.
- docker-compose.yml (standalone), .dockerignore, DEPLOYMENT.md.
- nodejs/routes/render.js: /health endpoint for healthchecks.
- nodejs/models/user_ldap.js: tlsOptions forwarded to ldapts Client so the
  proxy can bind ldaps:// with a self-signed cert (app_ldap__tlsOptions__*).
- nodejs/package.json: bump @simpleworkjs/conf to ^1.1.0 (app_* env overrides).
- docs/docker.md + index.md: Docker deployment guide + fronting an SSO Manager.
- ops/proxy.service: add WorkingDirectory=/var/www/proxy/nodejs (bare-metal
  cwd fix so relative conf/ paths resolve).

# Proxy
A reverse proxy and HTTPS termination service using OpenResty/nginx with a management API and web GUI.
## Features
- **Automated HTTPS/SSL** - Let's Encrypt integration with HTTP-01 and DNS-01 challenges
- **Wildcard SSL Certificates** - Support for wildcard domains with automatic renewal
- **Multiple DNS Providers** - CloudFlare, DigitalOcean, PorkBun integrations
- **Advanced Routing** - Sophisticated wildcard domain matching (*, **)
- **RESTful API** - Full programmatic control
- **Web Interface** - User-friendly management GUI
- **High Performance** - Unix socket-based host lookup for minimal latency
## Quick Start
### Docker (recommended for self-hosters)
A single all-in-one image bundling OpenResty + the app + Redis:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/theta42/proxy.git
cd proxy && docker compose up -d --build
```
See the [Docker Guide](docker.html) for configuration (OIDC/LDAP via `app_*` env)
and fronting an SSO Manager.
### Automated bare-metal installation
For modern Debian-based systems (Ubuntu 20.04+, Debian 11+):
```bash
wget -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/theta42/proxy/master/ops/install.sh | sudo bash
```
### Requirements (bare metal)
- Node.js 18+ (tested with 18.x, 20.x, 22.x)
- OpenResty (nginx with Lua support)
- Redis
- Linux system with root access
## Documentation
- [Docker Guide](docker.html) - All-in-one container deployment + configuration
- [Installation Guide](installation.html) - Bare-metal setup instructions
- [API Reference](api.html) - Complete API documentation
- [Architecture](architecture.html) - System design and components
- [Contributing](contributing.html) - Development and testing guide
## Use Cases
**Development Teams**
- Host multiple projects on a single server with unique domains
- Automatic SSL for all development sites
- Easy configuration via API or web UI
**Production Deployments**
- High-performance reverse proxy for microservices
- Centralized SSL certificate management
- Dynamic routing without nginx reloads
**Personal Projects**
- Self-hosted services with automatic HTTPS
- Wildcard certificates for unlimited subdomains
- Simple management interface
