Home assistant add-on: Zoraxy
I maintain this and other Home Assistant add-ons in my free time: keeping up with upstream changes, HA changes, and testing on real hardware takes a lot of time (and some money). I use around 5-10 of my >110 addons so regularly I install test machines (and purchase some test services such as vpn) that I don't use myself to troubleshoot and improve the addons
If this add-on saves you time or makes your setup easier, I would be very grateful for your support!
Addon informations
About
Zoraxy is a general purpose HTTP request (reverse) proxy and forwarding tool with a clean web management UI. It can be used as a modern, actively-maintained alternative to Nginx Proxy Manager: create reverse proxy hosts, manage TLS certificates (including ACME / Let's Encrypt), set up redirections, access rules, a basic web server and more.
This add-on is based on the official docker image from tobychui.
Installation
The installation of this add-on is pretty straightforward and not different in comparison to installing any other Hass.io add-on.
- Add my add-ons repository to your home assistant instance (in supervisor addons store at top right, or click button below if you have configured my HA)
- Install this add-on.
- Click the
Savebutton to store your configuration. - Start the add-on.
- Check the logs of the add-on to see if everything went well.
- Open the Web UI and create your administrator account.
Configuration
The management Web UI is exposed on port 8000. Because Zoraxy acts as a reverse
proxy that must own the standard web ports, it is not served through Home
Assistant ingress — open it directly:
Webui can be found at http://homeassistant.local:8000
The reverse proxy itself listens on ports 80 (HTTP) and 443 (HTTPS). Make
sure these ports are free on the host (e.g. not used by another proxy add-on)
and, if you want to reach your services from outside, forward them on your
router.
All configuration, the database, logs and plugins are stored persistently in the
add-on configuration folder (/addon_configs/<slug>_zoraxy/, exposed inside the
container as /config), so they survive add-on updates and restarts.
