summary: How can I Self-Host Piped?
---
# Self-Hosting
There are two simple ways to self-host Piped.
- [Bring your own reverse proxy](#docker-compose-nginx-aio-script) (**recommended**) - This is the recommended way to self-host Piped. You can use any reverse proxy you want, and must configure TLS certificates yourself.
- [Using Caddy](#docker-compose-caddy-aio-script) - This would use Caddy on port 80 and 443, and automatically configure TLS certificates for you. However, it would be difficult to host multiple services on the same server.
## Docker-Compose Caddy AIO script
First, install `git`, `docker` and `docker-compose`.

Finally, configure your TLS certificates if you need to!
Here's an example with Apache:
```
<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerName hostname # For all 3 hostnames
ProxyPass / http://127.0.0.1:8080/ nocanon
ProxyPassReverse / http://127.0.0.1:8080/
ProxyPreserveHost On
AllowEncodedSlashes On
# TLS configuration here
</VirtualHost>
```
Here's an example with Traefik using Docker compose labels:
This must be applied on the nginx container.
```
labels:
- "traefik.enable=true"
- "traefik.http.routers.piped.rule=Host(`hostname`,`hostname2`,`hostname3`)"
- "traefik.http.routers.piped.entrypoints=web"
```
Here's an example using Caddy:
```
hostname, hostname2, hostname3 {
reverse_proxy http://127.0.0.1:8080
}
```
Finally, configure your TLS certificates if necessary. For nginx, you could use certbot with the nginx plugin.
