Looking for a reverse proxy to put any service behind a login for external access. (lemmy.world)

I host a few docker containers and use nginx proxy manager to access them externally since I like to have access away from home. Most of them have some sort of login system but there are a few examples where there isn't so I currently don't publicly expose them. I would ideally like to be able to use totp for this as well.

caddy can do that with basicauth: https://caddyserver.com/docs/caddyfile/directives/basicauth
nginx can 100% do that because it has plugins for everything
apache can probably do something like that

most reverse proxies have SSO tooling that you can set up pretty easily

But honestly, have you considered just using wireguard for these cases? It's much more secure if you just want a bunch of stuff hidden from the rest of the world

If you want a richer login authelia + caddy is good.

Ooh that Authelia looks pretty much ideal. I'll give it a try and see how well it works.
