Best Reverse Proxy for Cloudflare

I've used nginx proxy manager as a reverse proxy for a while now and want to switch because some set ups don't work well with it. Tried nginx as a reverse proxy but seems kinda complicated and I just don't really like it... I've heard good things about Caddy and how it automatically does the certs for you but heard it doesn't mesh well with Cloudflare proxy or something along those lines. Caddy is definitely a contender.

What's a good reverse proxy for a set up using Cloudflare?

Also, a bit off-topic, but is Cloudflare's proxy really needed? I heard it's insecure to self host sites without Cloudflare because you're exposing your ip address and leaving yourself vulnerable but is it really bad to self host without Cloudflare?

Weird Nginx Error???
  • services:
      app:
        image: 'jc21/nginx-proxy-manager:latest'                        restart: unless-stopped
        ports:                                                            - '325:80'
          - '81:81'                                                       - '326:443'
        volumes:                                                          - ./data:/data                                                  - ./letsencrypt:/etc/letsencrypt
    

    I mean I got them portmapped to other ports so... I dunno

  • Weird Nginx Error???
  • apparently it's my native nginx.... wtf. I used

    sudo systemctl stop nginx
    

    And the websites that had the nginx error went down. I don't know how this could even happen? My containers use their own nginxes??? Maybe the mix of native nginx and docker nginx is messing everything up, if I can't find a solution I'm probably gonna nuke my native nginx and use docker nginx for all of my nginx needs

  • Weird Nginx Error???
  • nginx proxy manager's in a docker container reverse proxying my nginx docker containers, and native nginx is reverse proxying snikket container because nginx proxy manager doesn't go well with snikket.

    Here's the nginx config for my snikket.

    server {                                                          # Accept HTTP connections                                       listen 80;

    }
    

    Here's the docker-compose for one of the sites i'm running that's been affected by the weird nginx error.

    version: "3"                                                    services:
        client:                                                           image: nginx
          restart: unless-stopped                                         ports:
                - 5973:80                                                 volumes:
                - ./allinuxuser-website:/usr/share/nginx/html
    

    Please tell me if there's any more logs I need to provide.

    Good morning/night/evening/the time for you right now, ever since I set up Snikket, my web pages other than Snikket's have been displaying nginx 404 not found errors. I can access the website locally but when I go to the domain name it pops up the error. When I go to localhost:443 it also shows the nginx not found 404 thing so I think that's where my other website pages are getting the error from, but I never port fowarded port 443, at least I don't think so. I use the standard nginx reverse proxy for Snikket, and Nginx Proxy Manager for my other web pages. I really hope someone can help me. Thank you very much in advance.

    Nginx Error

    Hello, I've been messing around with prosody and snikket and that means I've been messing around with nginx. I was having some issues so I decided to uninstall nginx and after anothet round of messing around with snikket, decided to install nginx again. It showed this error and I don't really know what to do, since I'm really not that good with self-hosting yet. Please help. I will give more info as needed.
