## Why Charon?
You want your apps accessible online. You don't want to become a networking expert first.
**The problem:** Managing reverse proxies usually means editing config files, memorizing cryptic syntax, and hoping you didn't break everything.
**Charon's answer:** A web interface where you click boxes and type domain names. That's it.
-**Your blog** gets a green lock (HTTPS) automatically
-**Your chat server** works without weird port numbers
-**Your admin panel** blocks everyone except you
-**Everything stays up** even when you make changes
---
## What Can It Do?
🔐 **Automatic HTTPS** — Free certificates that renew themselves
🛡️ **Optional Security** — Block bad guys, bad countries, or bad behavior
🐳 **Finds Docker Apps** — Sees your containers and sets them up instantly
📥 **Imports Old Configs** — Bring your Caddy setup with you
**No Downtime** — Changes happen instantly, no restarts needed
🎨 **Dark Mode UI** — Easy on the eyes, works on phones

## Quick Start
### Docker Compose (Recommended)
Save this as `docker-compose.yml`:
```yaml
services:
charon:
image: ghcr.io/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:
- CHARON_ENV=production
```
Then run:
```bash
docker-compose up -d
```
### Docker Run (One-Liner)
```bash
docker run -d \
--name charon \
-p 80:80 \
-p 443:443 \
-p 443:443/udp \
-p 8080:8080 \
-v ./charon-data:/app/data \
-v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro \
-e CHARON_ENV=production \
ghcr.io/wikid82/charon:latest
```
### What Just Happened?
1. Charon downloaded and started
2. The web interface opened on port 8080
3. Your websites will use ports 80 (HTTP) and 443 (HTTPS)
**Open http://localhost:8080** and start adding your websites!

## Optional: Turn On Security
Charon includes **Cerberus**, a security guard for your apps. It's turned off by default so it doesn't get in your way.
When you're ready, add these lines to enable protection:
```yaml
environment:
- CERBERUS_SECURITY_WAF_MODE=monitor # Watch for attacks
- CERBERUS_SECURITY_CROWDSEC_MODE=local # Block bad IPs automatically
```
**Start with "monitor" mode** — it watches but doesn't block. Once you're comfortable, change `monitor` to `block`.
