## 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](#manual-setup)

   ```shell
   /bin/sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/yusing/godoxy/main/scripts/setup.sh)"
   ```

3. Start the docker compose service from generated `compose.yml`:

   ```shell
   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:

```yaml
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 or log files output from nodes
- **LXC Logs**: Stream real-time journalctl or log files output from containers

## Update / Uninstall system agent

Installer supports both systemd and Alpine/OpenRC (`rc-service`) hosts.

Update:

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

Uninstall:

```bash
sh -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)](https://go.dev/doc/install) 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`
