GenHTTP Gateway

The GenHTTP Gateway provides a simple way to serve all your web applications over a single, HTTPS secured entry point. Compared to other reverse-proxy solutions such as Traefik, the gateway provides less features but is easier to configure for scenarios such as home servers.

Usage

The GenHTTP Gateway is available as a docker image on DockerHub. You will find examples on how to run and to configure the gateway there.

Development

Building the gateway from source requires the .NET SDK to be installed. The following commands will clone the repository and run the gateway on port 80:

git clone https://github.com/Kaliumhexacyanoferrat/GenHTTP.Gateway.git
cd GenHTTP.Gateway
dotnet run

As the default configuration uses domain1.com as an example, you may want to add the following entry to your /etc/hosts file (or C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts on Windows):

127.0.0.1 domain1.com

You should then be able to open http://domain1.com/directory-browsing/ in your browser.

Building Docker Images

To build a docker image, run

docker build -f Dockerfile.linux-x64 -t genhttp/gateway:linux-x64 .

To build an image for a different platform simply select a different platform name.
