Guide Overview

You will learn: How the OpenFlare documentation is organized, which pages to read when running it for the first time, and where to start for deployment, usage, troubleshooting, and development.

OpenFlare is a self-hosted OpenResty control plane. It integrates reverse proxy website configurations, configuration version publishing, Agent node synchronization, TLS certificates, and basic observability into a single management console, making it ideal for a single team or organization managing multiple proxy nodes.

If you are new to OpenFlare, read the documents in the following order:

  1. Quick Start: Start the Server using Docker Compose, log into the management console, and connect your first Agent.
  2. Basic Usage: Learn common operations for website configs, origins, certificates, publishing, rollbacks, and observability.
  3. Tunnel & Intranet Penetration: Learn to deploy Relay and Client to achieve secure, public IP-free reverse penetration.
  4. WAF Security Protection: Master IP whitelisting/blacklisting, WAF auto IP group aggregation Expr rules, geographical restrictions, and PoW CC protection.
  5. WAF Auto IP Group Expressions: Write auto IP group Expr rules and learn keyword definitions and presets.
  6. Deployment Guide: Deploy Server and Agent in closer-to-production environments.
  7. Configurations Reference: Check Server environment variables, runtime Options, and Agent configurations.
  8. Troubleshooting: Troubleshoot login, database, node sync, OpenResty application, and frontend build issues.

Documentation Partitions

guide/ is oriented toward users and deployers, providing actionable steps from installation to daily operations.

reference/ collects stable facts such as configuration fields, commands, API response structures, and repository layout.

design/ is oriented toward maintainers and contributors, describing product boundaries, system architecture, Agent & publishing models, and engineering constraints. Before adding capabilities or changing boundaries, update the corresponding design document first.
