This is the repository to study Apache HTTP Server as forward/reverse proxy by use of Docker.

Information

certificate	passphrase of the private key	Common Name
root (CA)	my_ca_pass	my-ca
server	my_server_pass (decrypted)	my-server
client	my_client_pass (decrypted)	my-client
reverse-proxy	my_reverse_proxy_pass (decrypted)	my-reverse-proxy

Usage

Run Docker containers

$ git clone git@github:hamakou108/docker-httpd-proxy.git
$ cd docker-httpd-proxy
$ docker-compose up -d

Update Apache configuration file

$ docker cp ./server/httpd.conf docker-httpd-proxy_server_1:/usr/local/apache2/conf/
$ docker cp ./server/httpd-ssl.conf docker-httpd-proxy_server_1:/usr/local/apache2/conf/extra/
$ docker-compose restart

Send HTTP Requests to the web server from the client

$ docker exec -it docker-httpd-proxy_client_1 curl http://my-server
$ docker exec -it docker-httpd-proxy_client_1 curl http://my-server -x my-forward-proxy:8080
$ docker exec -it docker-httpd-proxy_client_1 curl http://my-reverse-proxy/proxy

HTTPS with server/client certificates

$ docker exec -it docker-httpd-proxy_client_1 curl https://my-server --cert ./ssl/client-cert-dec.pem --key ./ssl/client-key-dec.pem --cacert ./ssl/cacert.pem
$ docker exec -it docker-httpd-proxy_client_1 curl https://my-server --cert ./ssl/client-cert-dec.pem --key ./ssl/client-key-dec.pem --cacert ./ssl/cacert.pem -x my-forward-proxy:8080
$ docker exec -it docker-httpd-proxy_client_1 curl https://my-reverse-proxy/proxy --cert ./ssl/client-cert-dec.pem --key ./ssl/client-key-dec.pem --cacert ./ssl/cacert.pem
