DuckDNS's API is smaller than the other providers' (no list/read API, no arbitrary sub-records, one A/AAAA + one TXT record per domain), so domains are entered by the operator instead of auto-discovered, and getRecords reads from public DNS since there's nothing else to query. Documented as a free option in the README and DNS provider docs.

|
|
|
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, DuckDNS (free) 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
|
|
|
