--Enhancement Suggestion-- Getting Heimdall working as a proxy

[antipiot]

Is this possible to Get Heimdall to act as a proxy for any local services?

Maybe a master password to get access to any registred services may help to get the thing more secure.
I'm not very aware on how a proxy work but this might be great!

You can reverse proxy this app through nginx with ssl. We have a letsencrypt/nginx image here: https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/letsencrypt/

Through the reverse proxy, you can add security and password control via .htpasswd

You can also use caddy if you don't want to mess around with getting let's encrypt certs and have something do it for you.

? Same amount of work is required for both. Set the dns records and/or forward ports

[skluthe]

Oh wow, didn't look at the docker hub page. Thought you were talking about regular nginx. Definitely going to check that out.

I dont think thats what the poster want.

He want it so he just needs to forward/authenticate to heimdall, and heimdall proxys all other requests/apps/pages. I also would be interested in this, would clean a lot of mess! And you could acess it from everywhere.

Why it should be added?

• You only need to forward 1 port
• You only need to remember 1 user:password

http < ip to heimdall > : < port to heimdall > / < name of heimdall app > (or name of button, what ever)

Exactly what i wanted to say, thanks for clarifying :-)

Np, was the first thing i thought when i saw this app. :)

@KodeStar
Could you please also look into this? This would be absolut thing, i would pay for it.

I'm interesting too.

configure a nginx reverse proxy is not easy (at least for me), configure heimdall is really easy, so add a reverse proxy + letsencrypt is a must have it.

I'm torn. I want this feature too, but also don't want Heimdall to bloat. Maybe there's a "docker way" by using some intermediate container for this feature?

I would love to have this feature too, though I think it is way beyond Heimdall 's scope now. As a side note, I came across Heimdall (and firstly Organizr) looking for an application with this feature.
