Reverse Proxy

If you want to host SyncLounge on your own domain and not having to give out your IP address, you will want to use a reverse proxy. There are many different options such as nginx, haproxy, traefik, etc.

The following assume that you are running SyncLounge with default settings. If you have changed any of the default settings, like the port or root, you will want to modify the configurations provided here accordingly.

NGINX

If you are using the Secure Web Application Gateway (SWAG) container by LinuxServer.io (LSIO), you can use the provided configs found in LSIO's reverse proxy repo.

If you aren't using LSIO's SWAG container, the configurations found in LSIO's reverse proxy repo for subdomain and subfolder configurations will still be helpful.

NOTES:

  • The subdomain conf assumes that you are running the webapp with the default webroot (/) and server with default serverroot (/slserver).
  • The subfolder conf assumes that you are running the webapp with the webroot set to /slweb and server with default serverroot (/slserver).
  • Both assume that you are using the container name synclounge and default ports.
  • If you have changed any of the above, you will need to change the conf file you are using

Apache

Users have had luck with the following:

Apache Subdomain

#SyncLounge Server
ProxyPass /slserver/socket.io http://<IP>:8089/slserver/socket.io/

ProxyPass /slserver http://<IP>:8089/slserver/
ProxyPassReverse /slserver http://<IP>:8089/slserver/

# SyncLounge Web
ProxyPass / http://<IP>:8088/
ProxyPassReverse / http://<IP>:8088/

NGINX adapter for Caddy

You can use NGINX config files with Caddy with Caddy's NGINX adapter. While it is currently still in development, it should work pretty well with the NGINX files provided above.
