Self host server

[rsurgiewicz]

Hi there,

I'm currently having a look at your solution.
Seems to be a great alternative to localtunnel or ngrok.

I'm missing any info/steps how to actually deploy self hosted service?

I do have a devops skills, I'd like to run it later on as a docker container (can share files with you), but first I need to understand how to deploy and use it as self hosted solution.

Thank you!

Hello,

You can separately deploy HTTP and TCP proxy servers by compiling the following code:

• https://github.com/azimjohn/jprq/tree/master/jprq_cli/http_server
• https://github.com/azimjohn/jprq/tree/master/jprq_cli/tcp_server

Once you have the binaries, you can run them and expose the server.
Domain DNS settings and Nginx configurations can be found in this discussion/issue:

• Tunnel url showing error 404 jprq-python-client#1

Let me know if you need any additional info.

Hi @azimjohn
Thanks a lot for the info the last link was helpful.
My Dockerfile looks like this right now

FROM golang:1.15.0-buster

WORKDIR /tunnel
COPY . .
RUN go mod download
RUN go build ./jprq_cli/tcp_server/main.go
EXPOSE 4500
CMD ["./main"]

so i have jprq and nginx containers running there with configuration suggested here (azimjohn/jprq-python-client#1).

I am able to run the python-client

python -m jprq tcp 8000 --host myhost.domain.com

jprq : 2.0.1                                        Press Ctrl+C to quit.

Tunnel Status            Online
Forwarded                myhost.domain.com:39331 → 127.0.0.1:8000

Which is a good sign :)
But I don't see (or maybe I don't understand), how external request can hit eg myhost.domain.com:39331 as this port is not exposed anywhere.
Like, shall I expose some port range?

Thanks a lot!

@rsurgiewicz Great progress so far!

Yes, you would need to expose ports between 1024-65535 (all unprivileged ports).

[rsurgiewicz]

Any ideas for the docker container except using network_mode:host that I'd like to avoid ?
As we all know docker will all RAM memory when exposing a big range of ports.
