Docker Image

TagDescription

nightlyExperimental release
vx.y.zStable release
  • Proxy ghcr.io/yusing/godoxy:<tag>
  • Agent ghcr.io/yusing/godoxy-agent:<tag>

Starting from v0.29.0, the WebUI is served by the godoxy image from embedded static assets; no separate frontend image or container is required.

Current version

GitHub Release

Secure your containers

GoDoxy will work without mapping ports to the host.

Remove ports section in your docker-compose.yml file.

Doing this will make your host has only one exposed service, which is GoDoxy.

Environment variables

Core

Also works with old prefix GOPROXY_ or without prefix like API_USER.

Environment VariableDescriptionDefaultValues
GODOXY_HTTP_ADDRHTTP server listening address:80[host]:port
GODOXY_HTTPS_ADDRHTTPS server listening address (if enabled):443[host]:port
GODOXY_API_ADDRAPI server listening address127.0.0.1:8888[host]:port
GODOXY_LOCAL_API_ADDRLocal API server listening address for unauthenticated access-[host]:port
GODOXY_HTTP3_ENABLEDEnable HTTP/3trueboolean
GODOXY_DEBUGEnable debug behaviors and loggingfalseboolean

Authentication

Common

Environment VariableDescriptionDefaultValues
GODOXY_API_JWT_SECURESecure flag for JWT cookietrueboolean
GODOXY_API_JWT_SECRETBase64 JWT secret for api serverrandom (you will have to login again after restarting GoDoxy)string
GODOXY_API_JWT_TOKEN_TTLJWT Time-to-live24hduration
GODOXY_FRONTEND_ALIASESLegacy embedded WebUI route aliases; prefer webui.aliases in config.ymlgodoxycomma-separated hostnames

To use WebUI without HTTPS, set GODOXY_API_JWT_SECURE to false.

Not recommended.

User Password Auth

Environment VariableDescriptionDefaultValues
GODOXY_API_USERWebUI login usernamenonestring
GODOXY_API_PASSWORDWebUI login passwordnonestring

Both values must be set when using username/password authentication. GoDoxy rejects startup when either value is missing unless OIDC is enabled or authentication is explicitly disabled.

OpenID Connect (OIDC)

OIDC provides enterprise authentication via external identity providers.

See OIDC Configuration for setup instructions.

GODOXY_METRICS_DISABLE_DISKDisable disk usage, I/O collectionfalseboolean

Behaviors

Default URL: <container_name>.yourdomain.com

Container Proxying

ALL CONTAINERS are proxied by default, unless any of the following is true:

  • The label proxy.exclude includes proxy (true, proxy, or all)
  • The container is from a provider in explicit only mode (name with a trailing exclamation mark !)
  • The container is a backend service (e.g.: headless browsers, databases, etc.)
  • The container doesn't have any exposed port
  • The container name starts with buildx_
  • The alias starts with x- or ends with -old

Explicitly Enable Container Proxying

  • GoDoxy < v0.9 - set label proxy.aliases
  • GoDoxy >= v0.9 - set any label starting with proxy.

Health Monitoring

Health monitoring is enabled by default for ALL CONTAINERS, including the excluded ones.

Docker healthchecks are preferred when available. GoDoxy's fallback probe can be disabled by setting healthcheck.disable: true per route in the route file or in the docker labels. Docker health monitoring remains enabled.

For every route of a Docker container, set proxy.exclude: healthcheck. Use proxy.exclude: proxy,healthcheck or proxy.exclude: all to also exclude the container from proxying. The boolean value true keeps its original behavior and excludes only proxying.

    labels:

Use JSON Schema in IDEs

If you are unsure about what it is, ignore this

Using JSON schema allows static checking in IDEs. For VSCode, copy .vscode/settings.example.json to .vscode/settings.json (under root directory of GoDoxy) and modify it to fit your needs
