Reverse proxy

Running autobrr behind a reverse proxy is recommended when you want to reach the web UI from outside the box it runs on. The proxy gives you TLS, a proper domain instead of ip:port, and more robust authentication options.

Pick the guide for the proxy you run:

• Caddy; the simplest option, with automatic TLS
• lighttpd
• nginx
• SWAG; nginx preconfigured for Docker setups
• Traefik; common in Docker and Kubernetes stacks
• Tailscale Serve; private access over your tailnet, no ports exposed

Good to know

• By default autobrr listens on 127.0.0.1, which is exactly what you want with a reverse proxy on the same machine. If the proxy runs elsewhere, change host in config.toml to 0.0.0.0 and restart autobrr.
• Serving autobrr from a subdirectory like domain.tld/autobrr/? Set the baseUrl option in config.toml; the individual guides show this where it applies. On autobrr v1.55.0 and later you can also set baseUrlModeLegacy = false to skip URL rewrites in the proxy. See the configuration guide for details.
• Subdomains like autobrr.domain.tld need no baseUrl at all.
