- [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.
Because YouTube tends to ban IP addresses, it is recommended to either
- use the [IPv6 rotator made by the Invidious team](#ipv6-rotator-using-docker) - This is the recommended way because it's easier to set up and doesn't increase loading times.
- use a VPN or proxy between the Piped backend/proxy and YouTube.
to keep the instance running if you plan to make your instance public or to have a lot of users.
## Docker Compose Caddy AIO script
First, install `git`, `docker`, and the compose plugin for docker.

# IPv6 rotator using Docker
This requires you to already have set up a working Piped instance using Docker Compose as described above.
First of all, make sure that your server supports IPv6 by running `curl -m 5 ipv6.icanhazip.com` and confirm that an IPv6 address is returned as response. If it doesn't, this tutorial won't work.
Next, you need to enable IPv6 in Docker. First, edit `/etc/docker/daemon.json` and insert
```
{
"experimental": true,
"ip6tables": true
}
```
After, edit the `docker-compose.yml` of Piped and insert the following at the end of the file
```
networks:
default:
enable_ipv6: true
ipam:
config:
- subnet: 2001:db8::/112
```
Now restart Docker. To confirm everything worked as expected and your instance now uses IPv6, run `docker exec -it piped-backend curl icanhazip.com`. If you see an IPv6 address here, you successfully force-enabled IPv6.
More information about Docker and IPv6 can be found at https://docs.docker.com/config/daemon/ipv6/.
Last but not least, the `Smart IPv6 Rotator` (credits to the Invidious team!) has to be set up. In order to do so, please follow the steps [at its GitHub repository](https://github.com/iv-org/smart-ipv6-rotator#how-to-setup-very-simple-tutorial) after installing the [required Python packages](https://github.com/iv-org/smart-ipv6-rotator#requirements). That's it, your Piped instance now periodically rotates its IPv6 address!
