## What it is
GoDoxy is a lightweight, high-performance reverse proxy with a built-in WebUI, designed for self-hosters running Docker or Podman. It automatically discovers containers and configures routes, manages Let's Encrypt certificates, and provides traffic management, access control, and server monitoring.

## Use cases
- expose self-hosted docker services behind a domain with automatic https
- reverse proxy for containers with automatic route discovery from docker labels
- manage lets encrypt wildcard certificates with dns-01
- add oidc single sign-on and access control to self-hosted apps
- put idle containers to sleep and wake them on demand
- monitor cpu, memory, docker logs and uptime from a web dashboard
- load balance traffic across multiple container replicas
- forward tcp and udp ports alongside http proxying

## When to choose
- you self-host services in Docker/Podman and want a simpler, lighter alternative to Traefik or Nginx Proxy Manager
- you want automatic routing, hot-reload, and certificate management with minimal config
- you need a WebUI for routes, logs, metrics, and access control in one place
- you run multi-node Docker setups and want centralized proxying

## When to avoid
- you need a general-purpose proxy for non-containerized or bare-metal services only
- you require the extensive plugin ecosystem or advanced features of Traefik or Caddy
- you cannot run the proxy in host network mode
- you need a license-guaranteed enterprise deployment (license is not a standard OSI license)
