httpd Reverse Proxy Test

Proof of concept apache2/httpd reverse proxy.

http(s) Requests to host port 8080 are routed to container reverseproxy:80, which proxies the request to container httpd:80.

The start bash script facilitates this. It creates the following:

bridge network reverse-proxy-net

Attached to containers

• reverseproxy
• httpd

httpd container --name httpd

• htdocs/ mounted to /usr/local/apache2/htdocs
• Serving on reverse-proxy-net:80
• default /usr/local/apache2/conf/

httpd container --name reverseproxy

• Reverse proxy conf/ mounted to /usr/local/apache2/conf
• Port 80 exposed as 8080 on host through default bridge
