I host a few docker containers and use nginx proxy manager to access them externally since I like to have access away from home. Most of them have some sort of login system but there are a few examples where there isn’t so I currently don’t publicly expose them. I would ideally like to be able to use totp for this as well.
I use Nginx Proxy Manager and Authelia for just this. Authelia supports a wide range of identity and MFA providers.
Edit: although Authelia has an article on how to set it up, I found it still missed some key info. This article was the one that helped me most in getting it to work.

- caddy can do that with
basicauth: https://caddyserver.com/docs/caddyfile/directives/basicauth - nginx can 100% do that because it has plugins for everything
- apache can probably do something like that
most reverse proxies have SSO tooling that you can set up pretty easily
But honestly, have you considered just using wireguard for these cases? It’s much more secure if you just want a bunch of stuff hidden from the rest of the world
If you want a richer login authelia + caddy is good.
Ooh that Authelia looks pretty much ideal. I’ll give it a try and see how well it works.
How to use WireGuard for that? (Noob here)
WireGuard
try wg-easy. it’s on the docker hub and it makes setting up a wireguard tunnel incredibly easy (as in, press the add button). The initial docker configuration process was a bit annoying to me since I had no prior experience, but most of the issues were down to the dns settings, which I eventually figured out.
- caddy can do that with
