A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

I have my pangolin server set up and working, providing forward auth and roll based access before reverse proxying my self hosted resources.

However when I have the pangolin zero-trust client connected, I want to skip the forward auth since I'm already authed via the client. I want to do this since some apps like Jellyfin don't play nice with the forward auth.

I can't find a way to achieve this - there is no rule for connected clients. When I set up as a private resource, then I don't get the reverse-proxy functionality, so when the client is connected my urls change (need to add ports), which isn't really acceptable.

I can set up another reverse proxy behind pangolin, but pangolin already provides reverse proxying so that seems silly.

What am I missing? How can I achieve the goal of skipping forward auth when the pangolin client is connected?

Just tested my pangolin client and can see my home IPs fine, but you will need to make sure your pangolin has private resources setup as well as public

How do you set up private resources to reverse proxy like public resources? I don't want to have to change URL when I turn on my pangolin client

They are adding this feature soon(tm). Here is their current roadmap: https://github.com/orgs/fosrl/projects/3

Though once they implement the reverse proxy for private resources, I'm not sure if you will be able to overlap them with the same subdomains as public resources.

Oh, that is a question. Will have a look at how DNS works over pangolin
