simpleproxy provides a single host reverse proxy that proxies HTTP requests to a target URL.
Set the environment variable TARGET_URL to the URL requests should be proxied
to. The URL path of the request will be appended to the target URL path.
For example, when running:
TARGET_URL="http://example.com/foo" go run .
The URL http://localhost:8080/bar will be proxied to
http://example.com/foo/bar.
Setting the environment variable FORCE_SSL=1 will redirect all non-secure
requests to use https. Simpleproxy relies on the X-Forwarded-Proto: http
request header being set to identify non-secure requests.
Reverse proxies have assorted uses. This project was designed to provide simple SSL support for a custom domain on a Google Cloud Storage bucket.
GCS does not support HTTPS serving with custom domains. For various reasons, I didn't want to use any of the recommended solutions, so I built this to run on Google Cloud Run (which does support SSL for custom domains) and proxy requests to my GCS bucket.
While I built it for using Cloud Run with GCS, there is nothing Google-specific about it. It's just a simple reverse proxy running in a docker container.
