Deploying FRP on Dokploy Platform

This guide explains how to run FRP (Fast Reverse Proxy) on Dokploy so you can route public HTTPS traffic to internal services or local dev.

Prerequisites

• Dokploy instance with Docker runtime
• Domain pointing to Dokploy server
• Basic knowledge of Docker Compose

Architecture

• frps (FRP server) runs on Dokploy with public ports open
• frpc (FRP client) runs locally, connecting to frps
• You map your domain to local dev server via FRP

Step-by-step Setup

1) Create FRP Server on Dokploy

1.1Create a Docker Compose app in Dokploy:

Docker Image: ghcr.io/fatedier/frps:v0.65.0

1.2 Edit run commadn:

frps --bind_port 7000 --token "YOUR-TOKEN" --dashboard_port 7500 --dashboard_user admin --dashboard_pwd "YOUR-PASSWORD"

(Input any token number & pwd you like)

1.3 Set Port

‍‍


2) Configure DNS and Firewall

• Point your-domain.example A/AAAA to Dokploy server IP.
• Ensure ports 80/443/7000 are open on firewall/cloud provider.

3) Run FRP Client Locally

frpc.ini:

[common]
server_addr = your-dokploy-ip
server_port = 7000
authentication_method = token
token = YOUR_STRONG_TOKEN

[shopify-dev]
type = http
local_ip = 127.0.0.1
local_port = 3001
custom_domains = your-domain.example


Start frpc:

frpc -c frpc.ini


4) Optional: TLS termination

• If you want TLS at FRP, use vhost_https_port = 443 and ensure certificates are managed (e.g., via a reverse proxy like Caddy or Nginx in front of FRP, or use Cloudflare SSL mode "Full").

5) Validate the pipeline

• Visit https://your-domain.example and confirm it shows your dev app.
• Run shopify app dev --tunnel-url https://your-domain.example:443 for seamless previews.
