i5

README

i5 is a reverse proxy for web services running in Docker.

Features

• Monitors the Docker daemon for containers starting and stopping
• Routes traffic to running containers based on labels
• Serves static files directly
• Provides status pages for monitoring services
• Automatically obtains TLS certificates and redirects HTTP traffic
• Creates and initializes MySQL and PostgreSQL databases on-demand
• Runs within its own Docker container and requires very little configuration

Building the App

i5 must be built in two steps.

Building the UI

The web interface uses React and must be built with npm. This can be done by running the following command in the ui/ directory:

npm run build

The resulting files can be found in ui/build/.

Compiling the Application

The server application itself is written in Go and can be compiled with:

go build
