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.

Hi, I'm having trouble getting my Caddy reverse proxy to work with the arr apps I can access everything without the reverse proxy. I have set the basic login prompt (like this one) through the arr apps after I logge in to one of the arr apps I either get a blank page or I'm seeing this error page:

firefox

The page isn’t redirecting properly

Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies.

chromiumThis page isn’t working domain.com redirected you too many times.

Try deleting your cookies. ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS

Caddyfile config (1.1.1.1 is a placeholder ip for my vps external ip)

{
    email email@domain.com
}

domain.com {

    # qBittorrent
    redir /qbit /qbit/
    handle_path /qbit/* {
        reverse_proxy 1.1.1.1:8080 {
            header_up Host {host}
            header_up X-Real-IP {remote_host}
            header_up X-Forwarded-For {remote_host}
            header_up X-Forwarded-Proto {scheme}
        }
    }

    # Sonarr
    redir /sonarr /sonarr/
    handle_path /sonarr/* {
        reverse_proxy 1.1.1.1:8989 {
            header_up Host {host}
            header_up X-Real-IP {remote_host}
            header_up X-Forwarded-For {remote_host}
            header_up X-Forwarded-Proto {scheme}
        }
    }

    # Radarr
    redir /radarr /radarr/
    handle_path /radarr/* {
        reverse_proxy 1.1.1.1:7878 {
            header_up Host {host}
            header_up X-Real-IP {remote_host}
            header_up X-Forwarded-For {remote_host}
            header_up X-Forwarded-Proto {scheme}
        }
    }

    # Prowlarr
    redir /prowlarr /prowlarr/
    handle_path /prowlarr/* {
        reverse_proxy 1.1.1.1:9696 {
            header_up Host {host}
            header_up X-Real-IP {remote_host}
            header_up X-Forwarded-For {remote_host}
            header_up X-Forwarded-Proto {scheme}
        }
    }
}

I've tried setting the URL base to /the_name_of_the_arr_app, but it didn't work. I've attempted it with and without the redir /the_name_of_the_arr_app /the_name_of_the_arr_app/. I'm stuck and unsure of how to resolve the issue. It works fine with qBittorrent.

I exposed it all because I am on a VPS, i don't know how to configure it otherwise, and I did not think it was a problem because all the seedboxes expose it all.

I don't want to run Jellyfin/Plex because I am on a VPS with low resources.
