SWAG (Secure Web Application Gateway)
A Docker container providing a secure Nginx web server and reverse proxy with automated SSL certificates and fail2ban protection.
What is SWAG (Secure Web Application Gateway)?
SWAG is a Docker container that bundles Nginx, PHP, Certbot, and fail2ban into a single image to serve as a secure web application gateway. It automates the setup of HTTPS with free SSL certificates, acts as a reverse proxy for routing traffic to backend services, and provides intrusion prevention to protect web applications. The project solves the complexity of manually configuring and maintaining a secure web server stack.
System administrators, DevOps engineers, and self-hosting enthusiasts who need a pre-configured, secure web server and reverse proxy for deploying web applications, especially in containerized environments.
Developers choose SWAG because it combines multiple essential tools (Nginx, Certbot, fail2ban) into one easy-to-deploy Docker container, drastically reducing setup time and configuration errors. Its included reverse proxy configurations and automated certificate renewal make it a turnkey solution for securing web services.
