phost as a utility that provides a range of functionality for deploying content and services on subdomains. It allows for static websites to be deployed from a directory on your local computer with a single command as well as HTTP reverse proxy that allows accessing arbitrary HTTP web services from subdomains as well.
- Create deployments of static websites with a single command.
- Automatically supports versioning where all previous versions can be accessed via a path extension
- Supports SPA-style websites where a fallback file is served in the case of a 404
- Supports randomly generated subdomains
- Create reverse HTTP proxies to arbitrary endpoints locally or on the internet
- Has the option to transparently add in CORS headers to allow for the proxied resource to be accessed from browser applications
The recommended way to run the server is via Docker. The whole service runs inside a single Docker container
