I previously used Dokku and I loved how the HTTP proxy was "automatic". I've moved past Dokku but don't want the complexity of k8s for a home network. I sort of envisioned a system that could read out running container names and create "$name.$domain" proxy entries automatically.

I never got around to it and my current method of automatically generating nginx.conf from a JSON file has a few tricks left, I guess. I guess one additional problem is that I have few things stacked up on a domain and under different "location" entries.

You can also do this with Caddy, using this plugin: https://github.com/lucaslorentz/caddy-docker-proxy
