Looking for a reverse proxy to put any service behind a login for external access. (lemmy.world)

I host a few docker containers and use nginx proxy manager to access them externally since I like to have access away from home. Most of them have some sort of login system but there are a few examples where there isn't so I currently don't publicly expose them. I would ideally like to be able to use totp for this as well.

I don’t use the two you’ve called out, so I cannot guarantee my Google results are accurate, but the principle is similar…

If the app supports external authentication (usually, looking for things like OIDC, SAML, or SSO in the documentation), then I’d configure the app to do that and skip the Traefik middleware piece.

This is what I’d do based on what I’m seeing on this article for NextCloud. That is, when all is said and done, I’d go https://nexcloud.myunexistent.deployment/ and be greeted with the next cloud login screen, where the external authentication option is shown on screen.

A similar setup might be achieved with Home Assistant’s commandline authentication provider to delegate authentication out via command line setup. Alternatively, use hass-auth-header plugin along with trusted proxy to delegate authentication out to the reverse proxy.

Hope this points to a relevant direction for you!
