Xray-Core is a low detectable VPN. server-xray is a Xray server container that runs Xray with config file generated from command line options directly hence remove the necessity of Xray config modification.
Please have a look over the sibling project proxy-xray if you'd like to set a Xray client.
The following command starts a VLESS-TCP-TLS-XTLS server on port 443, also, it update the DDNS record of mydomain.duckdns.org point to the current server, then requests a new Lesencrypt TLS cert for the domain.
$ docker run --name server-xtls -p 80:80 -p 443:443 -d samuelhbne/server-xray \
--lttx p=443,d=mydomain.duckdns.org,u=myid \
-k https://duckdns.org/update/mydomain/c9711c65-db21-4f8c-a790-2c32c93bde8c \
-r mydomain.duckdns.org
...** NOTE **
- Port 80 exposure (-p 80:80) is necessary for Letsencrypt domain verification during cert requesting.
The following command starts a VLESS-TCP-REALITY-XTLS server on port 443. And update DDNS optionally, although IP only based connection is possible due to the nature of REALITY connection.

-r mydomain.duckdns.org** NOTE **
Domain name and TLS cert are not necessary due to the nature of REALITY connection. Althouth you can obtain a DDNS domain name to facilitate client connecting optionally.
Try to connect the server from Xray compatible mobile app like v2rayNG for Android or Shadowrocket for iOS with the host-name, port, id etc. set above. Or verify it from Ubuntu / Debian / Raspbian client following the instructions below.

12.34.56.78- proxy-xray created a SOCKS5 proxy that tunneling traffic through your Xray server.
- curl query was sent to checkip.amazonaws.com via the SOCKS5 proxy served by proxy-xray.
- Like this: curl --> proxy-xray --> server-xray --> checkip.amazonaws.com website.
- You should get the public IP address of server-xray if all going well.
- Please have a look over the sibling project proxy-xray for more details.
