Configure your proxy

You can create proxy rules using the proxy controller to expose your cargo.
A proxy rule allow you to redirect a specific ip address / port or domain name to an upstream of a cargo.

Add proxy rules

info

To follow up the tutorial you must have a cargo called my-cargo running with port 9001 open as HTTP

Create a file called proxy.deploy-example.yml and copy the following content:

ApiVersion: v0.18

Resources:
- Name: deploy-example.com
  Kind: ncproxy.io/rule/v0.15
  Data:
    Rules:
      # Domain name for the target
    - Domain: deploy-example.com
      # See https://docs.next-hat.com/references/nanocl/objects/resource#proxy-rule-network
      # For more information about proxy rule network
      Network: All
      # List of target by path for maximum flexibility
      Locations:
      - Path: /
        Target:
          # Canonical target: `namespace.name.c` for a Cargo or `namespace.name.v` for a VM
          Key: global.my-cargo.c
          # Cargo port to target
          Port: 9001

Now let's create the proxy rule by running:

nanocl state apply -s proxy.deploy-example.yml

You can see existing resources with:

nanocl resource ls

Now we can test that our proxy rule was working

curl --header "Host: deploy-example.com" 127.0.0.1

Should output:

{
  "headers": {
    "x-forwarded-proto": "http",
    "x-forwarded-for": "127.0.0.1",
    "accept": "*/*",
    "x-real-ip": "127.0.0.1",
    "connection": "close",
    "x-forwarded-scheme": "http",
    "host": "deploy-example.com",
    "user-agent": "curl/8.2.1"
  },
  "envs": {
    "   ": "/bin/nanocl-get-started",
    "NANOCL_CARGO_INSTANCE": "0",
    "NANOCL_NODE_ADDR": "192.168.8.102",
    "HOME": "/",
    "PATH": "/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin",
    "TERM": "xterm",
    "PORT": "9001",
    "HOSTNAME": "global.my-cargo-r0-my-cargo-d4e5f6.c",
    "NANOCL_CARGO_KEY": "global.my-cargo",
    "NANOCL_CARGO_NAMESPACE": "global",
    "NANOCL_NODE": "behuman"
  }
}

Now we know how to setup a proxy rule for our cargo enjoy deploying using Nanocl !
