Key Features

Multi-Domain Reverse Proxy

+-------------+         +-------------+
| Domain 1    |         | Container 1 |
+-------------+         +-------------+
        |                       ^
        v                       |
+-------------+         +-------------+
| PROXY       |-------->| Container 2 |
+-------------+         +-------------+
        |                       ^
        v                       |
+-------------+         +-------------+
| Domain 2    |         | Container 3 |
+-------------+         +-------------+

Kontainers excels at managing traffic across multiple domains with its powerful reverse proxy capabilities:

  • Domain-Based Routing: Route traffic to different containers based on domain names
  • Path-Based Routing: Configure advanced routing options with path-based rules
  • Load Balancing: Distribute traffic across multiple containers for high availability
  • Custom Headers: Add or modify HTTP headers for enhanced control
  • Health Checks: Automatically monitor the health of your containers

Our multi-domain proxy is built on Nginx, a high-performance web server and reverse proxy server. Kontainers dynamically generates and manages Nginx configurations based on your proxy rules, making it easy to set up and maintain complex routing scenarios without editing configuration files manually.

Automatic SSL Certificate Management

+-------------+    +-------------+    +-------------+
| Your Domain |<-->| Kontainers  |<-->| Let's       |
| example.com |    | SSL Mgr     |    | Encrypt     |
+-------------+    +-------------+    +-------------+
                        |
                        v
                    +-------------+
                    | SSL Cert    |
                    | ✓ Secured   |
                    +-------------+

Secure your domains effortlessly with Kontainers’ integrated Let’s Encrypt certificate management:

  • One-Click SSL: Enable HTTPS for your domains with a single click
  • Automatic Provisioning: Request and install certificates automatically
  • Renewal Management: Certificates are automatically renewed before expiration
  • Certificate Status Monitoring: Track certificate health and expiration dates
  • Manual Certificate Options: Upload your own certificates when needed

Kontainers handles the entire certificate lifecycle, from initial request to renewal, ensuring your domains remain secure without manual intervention.

Comprehensive Container Management
