Overview
go-doxy (godoxy) is a lightweight, performant reverse proxy written in Go with a built-in web UI for configuration and monitoring. It integrates natively with Docker to automatically detect containers and route traffic, and can automatically stop idle containers and start them on incoming requests to save resources. Configuration is managed via a clean web interface or YAML files, and it supports Let's Encrypt for automatic TLS.
Where it falls short of Netlify
- No CI/CD or git integration; purely a runtime reverse proxy, not a deployment platform.
- No build pipeline, static site hosting, or serverless function support.
- Ecosystem maturity and documentation are much thinner than Traefik or managed alternatives.
- No global CDN or multi-region routing.
We list the gaps honestly so you can decide if the trade-off is worth owning your data.
