dynamic configuration?

[ror6ax]

Hi, great work on this project!

I was wondering if you have ever considered making sshpiper dynamically configurable? Exposing some kind of http api to add or change names/destination pairs on the fly?

Thanks

This is planed and will do in my spare time

Maybe, you can now use file system api to modify working dir to workaround.

Or you can detail how you want it done and I will help you :)

@tg123 , do you want to make the configuration available as REST API or in any other way?

[tg123]

more backend workingdir (eg mysql) and REST API for them will be added.

Hi
mysql upstream driver is now opensourced

you can modify database to manage configuration

Some reverse proxy solutions read labels / env variables from containers to generate needed configs.
I built such a solution with docker-gen, but it isn't really production ready because I generate a single file and have to split each line to workdir / file and also delete workdirs if a backend is deleted.

Any have a better idea how to do it? Maybe with docker-gen or another way?

[tg123]

did you try mysql backend upstream driver? it is powered by database

[pwFoo]

Hi @tg123,
haven't tried mysql backend. But I don't know if it will be easier to do, because I need to update, create and delete users.

With docker-gen I can create a csv which need to be parsed by a script (update directories / files or database entries). Single step creation would need a single config file (csv, passwd format for example?) with one user per line for example.

I'll do some more tests to see what will work for me.

I am now working on tools for generating workingdir related files and will add it later

[pwFoo]

Thanks @tg124 !
Any progress with tool for generating workingdir? Would it work with docker-gen / rancher-gen? Need it soon and maybe have to build a script to generate workingdir based on csv.

[pwFoo]

Requirement is dynamically add backends by container env / label.

[tg123]

will update this thread after done
sorry for the slowness (too busy ....)

[pwFoo]

No problem. :)
Maybe you could share your idea or current state? If I can I would help to finish it or just to know how you will do it.

Heyo! Any updates or changes to this? Trying to set up a reverse proxy to host multiple (very simple) sites, each as a docker container on the same host, but also want the ability to git push deploy to each of them over SSH. If I'm understanding everything correctly, this tool along with docker-gen-based dynamic configuration should work perfectly.

For those interested, I just published an automatic docker-ssh-proxy container with docker-gen and sshpiper. This is largely inspired by nginx-proxy.

Any feedback is welcomed.

@tg123 Thanks a lot for your awesome work. So far, here are the things that would simplify the use of your project as an automatic ssh-proxy in docker environment:

• Add ability to have a single configuration file instead of the directory structure
• Allow to reload configuration without killing the process

tools added

sshpiperd pipe add -n piper_user -u github.com

will add a pipe between piper and github
