Sineware/static-proxy

Repository files navigation

This is a service that generates a static copy of a website locally, and serves it.

Secure dynamic backends such as Wordpress from direct attacks with a controlled static version served to your clients.

Environement

API_KEY=abc123 # API Key to access /sw-api/refresh endpoint (Authorization header with "Bearer <token>")
UPSTREAM_URL="https://sineware.ca" # Backend service public/application configured URL
UPSTREAM_INTERNAL_URL="" # Specifiy if Static Proxy should access the upstream service from a different URL (ex. bypass a load balancer)
UPSTREAM_POST_URL="" # URL to send POST JSON requests

HOST_URL="http://localhost:3000" # URL the static server is hosted on

WHITELIST_PATHS="" # If set, these comma-separated route path are the only routes allowed
BLACKLIST_PATHS="/wp-admin,/wp-login,/xmlrpc" # route paths that are not allowed

Handling POST requests

All POST requests (URL-encoded and body) are captured (and never passed through) and redirected as JSON to the endpoint set by the UPSTREAM_POST_URL env. Otherwise, POST requests are ignored.

Refreshing Static Copy

Once the server has downloaded the contents of the upstream server for a given request, it will continue to serve those files without hitting the upstream.

Your upstream server should notify Static Proxy whenever changes are made to invalidate the cache and redownload fresh content on the next request, by calling a POST request to /sw-api/refresh with the header Authorization: Bearer API_KEY set.
