What this Repo covers

Setup of the following

• HTTP endpoint
• HTTPs endpoint
• gzip requests
• Redirect HTTP to HTTPs
• admin console

Prerequisites

• Linux VM and OS capable of running docker - Using Ubuntu 20.04 for this demo

• SSH capabilities on the VM (or if you prefer GUI, that is also fine)

• Permission to run scripts and apps on the VM

• SSL certificate for using HTTPs endpoint -

    $ openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -keyout key.pem -out cert.pem -days 365
  

Setup

• Docker setup - follow the below link to install docker on your system, as this is the best guide to install Docker and its dependency in one go in Ubuntu. https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ubuntu/

• Install docker-compose package - we will be running this under a multi-container setup and compose makes it far easy to maintain containers and makes network communication easier.

• Run the command -

   $ sudo apt install docker-compose -y
  

Starting the Envoy proxy

    $ docker-compose up -d --build

Testing

Either do a CURL or hit it with browser

• service 1 - http://localhost/service1
• service 2 - http://localhost/service2

Note

This is more like a sandbox setup. The actual documentation should be refered before using this config in production.
