Could you build this?
Partial The dashboard and Docker socket integration are straightforward, but handling automated dynamic DNS, reverse proxy routing, automated TLS provisioning, and firewall networking robustly across Linux environments requires deep systems networking work.
What it would actually take: A real version is typically built in Go or Rust interfacing directly with `/var/run/docker.sock`, wrapping an embedded reverse proxy like Traefik or Caddy with automated ACME/Let's Encrypt handling, and integrating with `iptables`/`nftables` for local firewall rules. The hardest parts are handling complex network namespaces reliably, edge cases with host networking vs bridge networks, and maintaining a secure DDNS infrastructure. It requires systems engineering expertise and Linux networking depth.
