GoDoxy v0.9.0 expected changes

• new Brand new rewritten WebUI

  • View logs directly from WebUI
  • Edit dashboard app config (e.g. icon, name, category, etc.)
  • Toggle show / hide apps
  • Health bubbles, latency, etc. rich info on dashboard items
  • UI config editor

• new Support selfh.st icons: @selfhst/<reference>.<format> (e.g. @selfhst/adguard-home.webp)

  • also uses the display name on https://selfh.st/icons/ as default for our dashboard!

• new GoDoxy server side favicon retreiving and caching

  • deliver smooth dashboard experience by caching favicons
  • correct icon can show without setting homepage.icon by parsing it from app's root path "/", selecting link[rel=icon] from HTML as default icon

• Thanks polds Optionally allow a user to specify a “warm-up” endpoint to start the container, returning a 403 if the endpoint isn’t hit and the container has been stopped.

  This can help prevent bots from starting random containers, or allow health check systems to run some probes. Or potentially lock the start endpoints behind a different authentication mechanism, etc.

  Sample service showing this:

  hello-world:
    image: nginxdemos/hello
    container_name: hello-world
    restart: "no"
    ports:
      - "9100:80"
    labels:
      proxy.aliases: hello-world
      proxy.#1.port: 9100
      proxy.idle_timeout: 45s
      proxy.wake_timeout: 30s
      proxy.stop_method: stop
      proxy.stop_timeout: 10s
      proxy.stop_signal: SIGTERM
      proxy.start_endpoint: "/start"

  Hitting / on this service when the container is down:

  $ curl -sv -X GET -H "Host: hello-world.godoxy.local" http://localhost/
  * Host localhost:80 was resolved.
  * IPv6: ::1
  * IPv4: 127.0.0.1
  *   Trying [::1]:80...
  * Connected to localhost (::1) port 80
  > GET / HTTP/1.1
  > Host: hello-world.godoxy.local
  > User-Agent: curl/8.7.1

  Hitting /start when the container is down:

• Thanks polds Support WebUI authentication via OIDC by setting these environment variables:

  • GODOXY_OIDC_ISSUER_URL e.g.:
    • Pocket ID: https://pocker-id.yourdomain.com
    • Authentik: https://authentik.yourdomain.com/application/o/<application_slug>/ The ending slash is required
  • GODOXY_OIDC_LOGOUT_URL (if your issuer supports it, e.g.)
    • Authentik: https://authentik.yourdomain.com/application/o/<application_slug>/end-session
  • GODOXY_OIDC_CLIENT_ID
  • GODOXY_OIDC_CLIENT_SECRET
  • GODOXY_OIDC_REDIRECT_URL
  • GODOXY_OIDC_SCOPES (optional)
  • GODOXY_OIDC_ALLOWED_USERS
  • GODOXY_OIDC_ALLOWED_GROUPS (optional)

• Use OpenID Connect to authenticate GoDoxy's WebUI and all your services (SSO)

  # default
  proxy.app.middlewares.oidc:
  
  # override allowed users
  proxy.app.middlewares.oidc.allowed_users: user1, user2
  
  # override allowed groups
  proxy.app.middlewares.oidc.allowed_groups: group1, group2

• Caddyfile like rules

  proxy.goaccess.rules: |
    - name: default
      do: |
        rewrite / /index.html
        serve /var/www/goaccess
    - name: ws
      on: |
        header Connection Upgrade
        header Upgrade websocket
      do: bypass # do nothing, pass to reverse proxy
  
  proxy.app.rules: |
    - name: default
      do: bypass # do nothing, pass to reverse proxy
    - name: block POST and PUT
      on: method POST | method PUT
      do: error 403 Forbidden

• config reload will now cause a server full restart (i.e. proxy, api, prometheus, etc), eliminating some incorrect behaviors

• drop support of inline yaml string list without hyphen - prefix, e.g.

  # old
  proxy.app.middlewares.request.hide_headers: |
    X-Header1
    X-Header2
  
  # new
  proxy.app.middlewares.request.hide_headers: |
    - X-Header1
    - X-Header2

• autocert now supports hot-reload

• middleware compose now supports cross-referencing, e.g.

  foo:
    - use: RedirectHTTP
  bar: # in the same file or different file
    - use: foo@file

• Fixes

  • bug: cert renewal failure no longer causes renew schdueler to stuck forever
  • bug: access log writes to closed file after config reload
