|
||||
|
||||
- ✅ Automatic HTTPS certificates

|
||||

|
||||
## 🛡 Built-In Security
|
||||
|
||||
Charon includes security features that normally require multiple tools:
|
||||
|
||||
- Web Application Firewall (WAF)
|
||||
- CrowdSec intrusion detection
|
||||
- Access Control Lists (ACLs)
|
||||
- Rate limiting
|
||||
- Emergency recovery tools
|
||||
|
||||
Secure by default. No extra containers required.

|
||||
## ⚡ Quick Start (5 Minutes)
|
||||
|
||||
### 1️⃣ Create `docker-compose.yml`
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
services:
|
||||
charon:
|
||||
image: wikid82/charon:latest
|
||||
container_name: charon
|
||||
restart: unless-stopped
|
||||
ports:
|
||||
- "80:80"
|
||||
- "443:443"
|
||||
- "443:443/udp"
|
||||
- "8080:8080"
|
||||
volumes:
|
||||
- ./charon-data:/app/data
|
||||
- /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro
|
||||
environment:
|
||||
- TZ=America/New_York
|
||||
# Generate with: openssl rand -base64 32
|
||||
- CHARON_ENCRYPTION_KEY=your-32-byte-base64-key
|
||||
healthcheck:
|
||||
test: ["CMD-SHELL", "curl -fsS http://localhost:8080/api/v1/health || exit 1"]
|
||||
interval: 30s
|
||||
timeout: 10s
|
||||
retries: 3
|
||||
start_period: 40s
|
||||
```
|
||||
> **Docker Socket Access:** Charon runs as a non-root user. If you mount the Docker socket for container discovery, the container needs permission to read it. Find your socket's group ID and add it to the compose file:
|
||||
>
|
||||
> ```bash
|
||||
> stat -c '%g' /var/run/docker.sock
|
||||
> ```
|
||||
>
|
||||
> Then add `group_add: ["<gid>"]` under your service (replace `<gid>` with the number from the command above). For example, if the result is `998`:
|
||||
>
|
||||
> ```yaml
|
||||
> group_add:
|
||||
> - "998"
|
||||
> ```
|
||||
|
||||
### 2️⃣ Generate encryption key:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openssl rand -base64 32
|
||||
```
|
||||
### 3️⃣ Start Charon:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
docker-compose up -d
|
||||
```
|
||||
### 4️⃣ Access the dashboard:
|
||||
Open your browser and navigate to `http://localhost:8080` to access the dashboard and create your admin account.
|
||||
```code
|
||||
http://localhost:8080
|
||||
```
|
||||

|
||||
--- ## ✨ Top 10 Features
|
||||
|
||||
### 🎯 **Point & Click Management**
|
||||
No config files. No terminal commands. Just click, type your domain name, and you're live. If you can use a website, you can run Charon.
|
||||
|
||||
### 🔐 **Automatic HTTPS Certificates**
|
||||
|
||||
Free SSL certificates that request, install, and renew themselves. Your sites get the green padlock without you lifting a finger.
|
||||
|
||||
### 🌐 **DNS Challenge for Wildcard Certificates**
|
||||
|
||||
Secure all your subdomains with a single *.example.com certificate. Supports 15+ DNS providers including Cloudflare, Route53, DigitalOcean, and Google Cloud DNS. Credentials are encrypted and automatically rotated.
|
||||
|
||||
### 🛡️ **Enterprise-Grade Security Built In**
|
||||
|
||||
Web Application Firewall, rate limiting, geographic blocking, access control lists, and intrusion detection via CrowdSec. Protection that "just works."
|
||||
|
||||
### 🔐 **Supply Chain Security**
|
||||
|
||||
Verifiable builds with cryptographic signatures, SLSA provenance attestation, and comprehensive SBOMs. Verify what you run with transparent, tamper-proof evidence.
|
||||
|
||||
### 🌐 **Smart Proxy Headers**
|
||||
|
||||
Automatically adds standard headers (X-Real-IP, X-Forwarded-Proto, etc.) so your backend applications see real client IPs, enforce HTTPS correctly, and log accurately—with full backward compatibility for existing hosts.
|
||||
|
||||
### 🐳 **Instant Docker Discovery**
|
||||
|
||||
Already running apps in Docker? Charon finds them automatically and offers one-click proxy setup. No manual configuration required.
|
||||
|
||||
### 📊 **Real-Time Monitoring & Logs**
|
||||
|
||||
See exactly what's happening with live request logs, uptime monitoring, and instant notifications when something goes wrong.
|
||||
|
||||
### 📥 **Migration Made Easy**
|
||||
|
||||
Already invested in another reverse proxy? Bring your work with you by importing your existing configurations with one click:
|
||||
- **Caddyfile** — Migrate from other Caddy setups
|
||||
- **Nginx** — Import from Nginx based configurations (Coming Soon)
|
||||
- **Traefik** - Import from Traefik based configurations (Coming Soon)
|
||||
- **CrowdSec** - Import from CrowdSec configurations
|
||||
- **JSON Import** — Restore from Charon backups or generic JSON configs
|
||||
|
||||
### ⚡ **Live Configuration Changes**
|
||||
|
||||
Update domains, add security rules, or modify settings instantly—no container restarts needed.* Your sites stay up while you make changes.
|
||||
|
||||
### 🌍 **Multi-App Management**
|
||||
|
||||
Run dozens of websites, APIs, or services from a single dashboard. Perfect for homelab enthusiasts and small teams managing multiple projects.
|
||||
|
||||
### 🚀 **Zero-Dependency Deployment**
|
||||
|
||||
One Docker container. No databases to install. No external services required. No complexity—just pure simplicity.
|
||||
|
||||
### 💯 **100% Free & Open Source**
|
||||
|
||||
No premium tiers. No feature paywalls. No usage limits. Everything you see is yours to use, forever, backed by the MIT license. <sup>* Note: Initial security engine setup (CrowdSec) requires a one-time container restart to initialize the protection layer. All subsequent changes happen live.</sup> **
