A super simple reverse proxy with TLS support

Installation

With Rust installed, use this command to install it:

cargo install proxyboi

You can also download binaries from the latest release on GitHub.

How to run

In order to listen for proxy requests on all local interfaces on port 8080 and proxy them to a service running at example.com, do:

proxyboi -l 0.0.0.0:8080 http://example.com

You can also feed your TLS certificates into it:

proxyboi -l 0.0.0.0:8080 --cert mycert.pem --key mykey.key http://example.com

You can see a detailed (and pretty!) verbose log using -v:

proxyboi -l 0.0.0.0:8080 http://example.com -v

Pretty log

Releasing

This is mostly a note for me on how to release this thing:

  • Make sure CHANGELOG.md is up to date.
  • cargo release --dry-run <version>
  • cargo release <version>
  • Releases will automatically be deployed by Github Actions.
  • Docker images will automatically be built by Docker Hub.
  • Update Arch package.
