ProxyStack provides a production-ready Kubernetes deployment solution for proxy and VPN services. It includes automatic SSL certificate management, ingress configuration, and scalable deployments for various proxy tools.

• Multi-Component Architecture: Support for multiple proxy and VPN components
• Automatic SSL/TLS: Integrated certificate management with cert-manager
• Ingress Configuration: Flexible ingress setup with path-based routing
• Scalable Deployments: Configurable replica counts for high availability
• Helm-Based: Easy deployment and configuration management
• Production Ready: Includes proper service definitions and resource management

• High-performance proxy server
• Configurable client authentication
• Customizable logging levels
• Internal cluster communication

• Web server and reverse proxy
• Static content serving
• Load balancing capabilities
• Stable and reliable deployment

• Kubernetes cluster (1.19+)
• Helm 3.x
• cert-manager (for SSL certificate management)
• NGINX Ingress Controller

helm repo add proxy-stack https://your-helm-repo-url
helm repo update

Copy the example values file and customize it for your environment:

cp proxy-stack/values.yaml.example my-values.yaml

helm install proxy-stack ./proxy-stack -f my-values.yaml

The main configuration options are defined in values.yaml:

certManager:
  email: "[email protected]"
  selfSigned: true  # Set to false for Let's Encrypt

ingress:
  className: nginx
  host: "your-domain.com"
  vpnPath: "/api01"

replicas:
  xray: 1
  nginx: 1

xray:
  listenPort: 10801
  logLevel: "debug"
  client:
    email: "[email protected]"
    id: "your-client-id"

Nginx uses the stable image with default configuration. Custom configurations can be added through ConfigMaps.

ProxyStack supports two certificate management modes:

1. Self-Signed Certificates (default):

   certManager:
     selfSigned: true

2. Let's Encrypt Certificates:

   certManager:
     selfSigned: false
     email: "[email protected]"

• VPN/Proxy: https://your-domain.com/api01

To scale components, update the replica counts in your values file:

replicas:
  xray: 3
  nginx: 2

Then upgrade the deployment:

helm upgrade proxy-stack ./proxy-stack -f my-values.yaml

This project includes Skaffold configuration for local development:

skaffold dev

Custom Docker images can be built using the provided Dockerfiles in the docker/ directory.

1. Certificate Issues: Ensure cert-manager is properly installed and configured
2. Ingress Not Working: Verify NGINX Ingress Controller is deployed
3. Service Connectivity: Check service selectors and port configurations
