I am in self hosting for a bit now, have an unraid server and a bunch of services running. Now I want to expose some services through a reverse proxy, but with authentication, preferably google oauth2. I've tried a lot of things, Authentik, Authelia, NPM, and so on. I found everything way to complicated. What I liked the most until now is Caddy with the greenpau/caddy-security module. Very easy config through the caddyfile.... Though the module has to be manually installed after every update of the caddy docker container, thats kind of a turn of for me, since everything else on my server is almost maintainance-free.

You have any suggestions?

.... also this is my first post on lemmy, since I migrated from reddit. ;)

Put https://github.com/oauth2-proxy/oauth2-proxy in front of caddy.

I found that before and it's really interesting. I didn't really find it easy to understand, though. Maybe I'll look into it again. As I understand it, you wouldn't even need caddy, oauth2-proxy itself can act as reverse proxy, right?

upstream services > oauth2-proxy > caddy

Not sure what kind of services you want to run. But I guess you want auto https etc. so probably you want to stick to caddy.
