This repository contains a virtual "lab" that can be used to experiment with Nginx; it sets up two reverse proxies (which can simulate having Cloudflare in front of your server) and a simple backend application.
- Docker
- docker-compose
Run docker-compose up to spin up the whole stack, then your main (outer) frontend can be accessed on localhost:8080
and your secondary (inner) frontend on localhost:9090; the backend application is bound to the /app location on both
proxies.
The two proxies are configured with self-signed TLS certificates created at build time for the wildcard
domain *.homelab.dev.
To send an HTTPS request to the outer proxy with curl:
$ curl -k --resolve outer-proxy.homelab.dev:8443:127.0.0.1 https://outer-proxy.homelab.dev:8443
