### Example: Put Nginx in front of the ArchiveBox server for SSL termination and static file serving.
# You can also any other ingress provider for SSL like Apache, Caddy, Traefik, Cloudflare Tunnels, etc.
# Note you must set up wildcard DNS and TLS *.your.archivebox.domain because snapshots are served from unique subdomains for security.
### TLS / HTTPS ingress (opt-in, everything below is driven by env vars only).
#
# ArchiveBox serves the admin/web/api/public control plane AND every archived
# snapshot on its own subdomain for security isolation, so a public deployment
# needs wildcard DNS + TLS for *.your.domain. Pick ONE of the two ingress options
# below by activating its profile (e.g. put COMPOSE_PROFILES=https or =tunnel in a
# .env file next to this one, then `docker compose up -d`). Both want:
# BASE_URL=https://archive.example.com
# SERVER_SECURITY_MODE=safe-subdomains-fullreplay
# nginx:
# image: nginx:alpine
# ports:
# - 443:443
# - 80:80
# volumes:
# - ./etc/nginx.conf:/etc/nginx/nginx.conf
# - ./data:/var/www
### Option A — Cloudflare Tunnel (no public IP / behind NAT, e.g. home/NAS).
# Cloudflare's edge terminates TLS and resolves *.your.domain to a SINGLE tunnel;
# every snapshot/control subdomain rides one connection to archivebox:8000, which
# routes by Host header — so the tunnel itself needs no wildcard cert or per-host
# config. ZERO manual setup: the one-shot tunnel-init below uses your
# CLOUDFLARE_API_KEY (give it Account:Cloudflare Tunnel:Edit + Zone:DNS:Edit
# + Zone:Read) to create/reuse the tunnel, point *.your.domain and your.domain at
# it, and write its connector token — then cloudflared just runs it.

### Option B — Traefik reverse proxy + automatic wildcard TLS (you have a public IP).
# ONE container terminates TLS for the apex + every snapshot subdomain and proxies
# to archivebox:8000. Traefik is also an ACME client (it embeds go-acme/lego), so it
# fetches a single *.your.domain WILDCARD cert via DNS-01 and auto-renews it — no
# separate cert sidecar. All config is generated inline; no extra files.
#
# WILDCARD DNS — you must do this ONE manual step first (no proxy can do it for you):
# point a wildcard record at this server's public IP, e.g. at your DNS host add
# A *.archive.example.com -> <this server's public IP>
# A archive.example.com -> <this server's public IP>
# (AAAA too if you have IPv6). That's what makes snap-*.archive.example.com reach
# this box. Traefik then only needs the DNS *API* to solve the ACME DNS-01 challenge:
#
# set ARCHIVEBOX_ACME_DNS to your provider and put its credentials in a .env next to
# this file (passed straight through to Traefik/lego) — any of ~100 providers:
# cloudflare -> ARCHIVEBOX_ACME_DNS=cloudflare + CLOUDFLARE_DNS_API_TOKEN=...
# route53 -> ARCHIVEBOX_ACME_DNS=route53 + AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID/AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY/AWS_REGION
# digitalocean -> ARCHIVEBOX_ACME_DNS=digitalocean + DO_AUTH_TOKEN
# ... full list + exact var names: https://doc.traefik.io/traefik/https/acme/#providers
# Leave ARCHIVEBOX_ACME_DNS unset to skip ACME — Traefik then serves its built-in
# self-signed cert (browser warning), handy for local/testing.

### Example: run all your ArchiveBox traffic through a WireGuard VPN tunnel to avoid IP blocks.
# You can also use any other VPN that works at the docker/IP level, e.g. Tailscale, OpenVPN, etc.

You can also specify an env file via CLI when running compose using `docker compose --env-file=/path/to/config.env ...` although you must specify the variables in the `environment:` section that you want to have passed down to the ArchiveBox container from the passed env file.
If you want to access your archive server with HTTPS, put a reverse proxy like Nginx or Caddy in front of `http://127.0.0.1:8000` to do SSL termination. Here is an example [ArchiveBox nginx container](https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/blob/dev/docker-compose.yml#:~:text=nginx) + [`nginx.conf`](https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/blob/dev/etc/nginx.conf) that you can modify to add your preferred TLS settings.
If you want to access your archive server with HTTPS, the bundled `docker-compose.yml` includes two opt-in ingress profiles:
- `COMPOSE_PROFILES=https` runs Traefik in front of ArchiveBox for HTTPS/TLS, with optional wildcard certificates via DNS-01.
- `COMPOSE_PROFILES=tunnel` runs a Cloudflare Tunnel for deployments without a public IP.
Set `BASE_URL=https://archive.example.com` in the `.env` file next to `docker-compose.yml`, then follow the inline comments in the compose file for the profile you choose. You can still bring your own reverse proxy such as Nginx or Caddy in front of `http://127.0.0.1:8000`; [`etc/nginx.conf`](https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/blob/dev/etc/nginx.conf) remains a standalone example.

E.g. see `nginx.conf` for an example nginx config to serve your archive with SSL, or `fly.toml` for an example deployment to the Fly.io hosting platform.
For the recommended, batteries-included reverse proxy and TLS, you don't need a file
here at all — it's built into the main `../docker-compose.yml` as two opt-in, env-var
driven profiles (no extra files, Dockerfiles, or scripts) — set the documented env
vars in a `.env` next to `../docker-compose.yml`:
- `https` — a single Traefik container terminates TLS and fetches/auto-renews one
`*.<your-domain>` wildcard cert via DNS-01 (covering unlimited `snap-*` subdomains,
~100 DNS providers via its embedded lego, no per-provider code), serving Traefik's
default self-signed cert if no DNS provider is configured.
- `tunnel` — a Cloudflare Tunnel whose tunnel/DNS are auto-provisioned from your API
token, so Cloudflare's edge terminates TLS and routes `*.<your-domain>` through one
tunnel to ArchiveBox (Host-routed) — no public IP or wildcard cert needed locally.
