I don’t self-host a lot of things, but I’d say this is not the easiest I’ve done, just because it involves setting up multiple containers (unlike something like SearXNG). Also thought that I had to set-up an SMTP container, but I got away with not having to do it.

I used ansible (and pass to store credentials), so this is how I did it (maybe someone can pitch in and tell me what I can improve):

Then I set up caddy for the reverse proxy

<span style="color:#323232;">- name: Upload Caddyfile
</span><span style="color:#323232;">  ansible.builtin.copy:
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    src: ./upload_files/Caddyfile
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    dest: ~/Caddyfile
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">- name: Deploy caddy
</span><span style="color:#323232;">  community.docker.docker_container:
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    image: caddy:2
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    name: caddy
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    user: "1000:1000"
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    recreate: true
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    state: started
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    memory: 500MB
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    restart_policy: always
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    log_options:
</span><span style="color:#323232;">      max-size: "10m"
</span><span style="color:#323232;">      max-file: "1"
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    links:
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    - "wallabag:wallabag"
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    ports:
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    - "80:80"
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    - "443:443"
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    volumes:
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    - ~/Caddyfile:/etc/caddy/Caddyfile
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    - ~/caddy_data:/data
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    - ~/caddy_config:/config
</span>

And this is the Caddyfile

<span style="color:#323232;">my.url.com {
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    reverse_proxy wallabag:80
</span><span style="color:#323232;">}
</span>

Finally, you then have to login with user:wallabag and password:wallabag and change them in the webUI. I changed the “wallabag” user to my user and set a new password.
