proxy

docker pull maayanlab/proxy

A convenient and generic proxy image. It's useful for exposing multiple microservices on a single ingress and easily configurable via environment variables.

See docker-compose for more configuration information.

Tutorial

I've extended this overtime to assist with different use-cases but the general idea is enabling hassle-free http proxying.

I.e. Consider an application with 2 backends (/frontend, /api/v1), a legacy redirect (/api => /api/v1), and a fuzzy-proxy fallback.

version: '3'
services:
  proxy:
    image: maayanlab/proxy
    environment:
      - nginx_redirect_01=/api/(.*) /api/v1/$$1
      - nginx_proxy_02=/api/v1/(.*) http://api/$$1
      - nginx_proxy_03=/frontend/(.*) http://frontend/$$1
      - nginx_proxy_04=(.*) http://fuzzy-proxy/$$1
    port:
      - 80:80
  api:
    ...
  frontend:
    ...
  fuzzy-proxy:
    ...

We can expose our multi-container application at one place with the help of this proxy.

Testing

To run the tests execute:

sh test.sh
