Zoraxy
Lightweight reverse proxy with a web UI and built-in tools

Zoraxy is a lightweight reverse proxy designed for self-hosters who want a simple web UI to publish multiple services behind one HTTP(S) entrypoint. It focuses on easy setup, practical routing features, and built-in utilities commonly needed in homelabs and small deployments.
Key Features
- Web-based admin UI to manage proxy hosts and routing rules
- Reverse proxy for HTTP/HTTPS services with host- and path-based routing
- TLS/HTTPS support (certificate management options depend on deployment)
- Access controls and request filtering features intended to reduce unwanted traffic
- Built-in traffic/utility tools (e.g., diagnostics and convenience features surfaced in the UI)
- Designed to be lightweight and easy to run on modest hardware
Use Cases
- Expose multiple self-hosted apps (media, dashboards, admin panels) under different subdomains
- Front internal services with HTTPS and centralized routing rules
- Provide a simple GUI-managed edge gateway for a homelab or small VPS
Limitations and Considerations
- Feature depth and ecosystem are smaller than larger proxy stacks (e.g., NGINX/Traefik) and may not cover advanced enterprise needs.
Zoraxy fits users who want a straightforward reverse proxy with a GUI and sensible defaults rather than a highly extensible edge platform. It is particularly suitable for homelabs and small deployments where simplicity and low overhead are priorities.
