local proxrox proxy config?

[city41]

This is a great idea. Currently I am using nginx to proxy two micro services into one website during development. If proxrox read a local proxrox.json file or something like that, and could set up proxies on the fly based on that file, it'd be incredibly useful. Something like

{
  "/foo": "http://127.0.0.1:8000",
  "/bar": "http://127.0.0.1:9000"
}

obviously that's super simplified, but the general idea.

Sounds good and I have been thinking about this as well. I see two things that need to be done:

1. Possibility to load proxvox configs from the file system.
2. Support proxies for subdirectories. How are you currently doing this? I would assume that you are using multiple location directives?

I created issue #7 to track part 2 of this issue (proxies for subdirectories).

Yeah my nginx.conf has multiple location directives in it.

My use case is one of my services is a RESTful API, and the other provides dynamic HTML. Otherwise I could just use a static directory for the HTML service.

I'm not sure how ultimately this should all look, where would the proxrox config file typically live? with one of the services? in ~/.proxrox/<name>.conf and then you invoke it with proxrox -c <name>? I have no idea, I'll definitely leave that kind of stuff to you :)

@city41: I will release a new version of proxrox later today. I would be happy if you could take a look at the changes and tell me whether they are sufficient for your use case. Thanks!

@city41: FYI, I just released v1.3.0.
