NGINX Docker Reverse Proxy

Description

This Ansible role deploys NGINX as a high-performance reverse proxy in front of Docker-hosted services.
It provides automatic TLS integration, WebSocket support, and a flexible templating system for per-application configuration.

Overview

Optimised for Arch Linux, the role installs NGINX, prepares opinionated configuration snippets and exposes a simple interface for other roles to drop in new virtual-hosts.
It plays well with Let’s Encrypt, OAuth2 Proxy, and your existing Docker stack.

Purpose

The goal of this role is to deliver a hassle-free, production-ready reverse proxy for self-hosted containers, suitable for homelabs and small-scale production workloads.

Features

  • Automatic TLS & HSTS: integrates with the sys-svc-webserver-https role for certificate management.
  • Flexible vHost templates: basic and ws_generic flavours cover standard HTTP and WebSocket applications.
  • Security headers: sensible defaults plus optional X-Frame-Options / CSP based on application settings.
  • WebSocket & HTTP/2 aware: upgrades, keep-alive tuning, and gzip already configured.
  • OAuth2 gating: drop-in support when web-app-keycloak's SSO-proxy sidecar is present.
  • Modular includes: headers, locations, and global snippets are factored for easy extension.
