Zas is a tool to help with local web development, inspired by Pow.
It works by running a DNS server that resolves .dev domains to your local
machine. Then, when the browser makes requests to awesome.dev, zas proxies
the requests to your configured applications.
Install scripts are only provided for OSX. To make it work on Linux, you need to setup a custom dns rule (and port) that points to zas and an iptable rule to redirect http traffic from port 80 to the zas port.
Pull requests are very welcome.
Zas can't run alongsize Pow, make sure you remove one before installing the other
To install, run:
brew tap juanibiapina/zas
brew install zas
zas install
To uninstall, run:
zas uninstall
brew uninstall zas
Sudo is required in order to setup the dns and port forwarding rules.
First make sure zas is running in a terminal window. It needs to be restarted
when the any changes are made to the config file.
To configure an application with Zas, add a mapping on
~/.config/zas/apps.toml with the name of your app and the port where it is
running:
app_name = 3000Make sure your app is running on the port you specified. Zas will not try to run it in any way.
Now you can use app_name.dev in your browser to access the application.
Zas runs a DNS server on port 12043 that resolves .dev domains to
127.0.0.1 and ignores any other domains.
It also has an HTTP server running on port 12044, and the install script sets
up a rule that forwards requests on port 80 to 12044. When Zas receives the
request, it extracts the Host header to determine the name of the app to
proxy the request to.
If there is a port mapping for that app on the config file, zas proxies the request to that port.
