Gobis-server

Create a gobis server based on a config file.

The standalone server will make available all middlewares you can found in gobis-middlewares

Note: To enable them in your route see parameters to set on each ones

Summary:

• Installation
• Commands
• Usage
  • In local
  • In a cloud
• Sidecar
  • Cloud Foundry

Installation

go get github/orange-cloudfoundry/gobis-server

If you set your PATH with $GOPATH/bin/ you should have now a gobis-server binary available, this is the standalone server.

Usage

There is two different usage:

1. In local
2. In a cloud through gautocloud (Run with ease gobis on: Kubernetes, CloudFoundry or Heroku)

In local

1. Create a config.yml file where you want to run your server, following this schema:

# Host where server should listen (default to 0.0.0.0) 
host: 127.0.0.1 # you can either set 0.0.0.0
# Port where server should listen, if empty it will look for PORT env var and if not found it will be listen on 9080
port: 8080
# List of headers which cannot be removed by `sensitive_headers`
protected_headers: []
# Set the path where all path from route should start (e.g.: if set to `/root` request for the next route will be localhost/root/app)
start_path: ""
routes:
  # Name of your routes
- name: myapi
  # Path which gobis handler should listen to
  # You can use globs:
  #   - appending /* will only make requests available in first level of upstream
  #   - appending /** will pass everything to upstream
  path: /app/**
  # Upstream url where all request will be redirected (if ForwardedHeader option not set)
  # Query parameters can be passed, e.g.: http:#localhost?param=1
  # User and password are given as basic auth too (this is not recommended to use it), e.g.: http:#user:password@localhost
  # Can be empty if ForwardedHeader is set
  # This is ignored if ForwardHandler is set
  url: http://www.mocky.io/v2/595625d22900008702cd71e8
  # If set upstream url will be took from the value of this header inside the received request
  # Url option will be used for the router to match host and path (if not empty) found in value of this header and host and path found in url (If NoUrlMatch is false)
  # this useful, for example, to create a cloud foundry routes service: https:#docs.cloudfoundry.org/services/route-services.html
  forwarded_header: ""
  # List of headers which should not be sent to upstream
  sensitive_headers: []
  # List of http methods allowed (Default: all methods are accepted)
  methods: []
  # An url to an http proxy to make requests to upstream pass to this
  http_proxy: ""
  # An url to an https proxy to make requests to upstream pass to this
  https_proxy: ""
  # Force to never use proxy even proxy from environment variables
  no_proxy: false
  # By default response from upstream are buffered, it can be issue when sending big files
  # Set to true to stream response
  no_buffer: false
  # Set to true to not send X-Forwarded-* headers to upstream
  remove_proxy_headers: false
  # Set to true to not check ssl certificates from upstream (not really recommended)
  insecure_skip_verify: false
  # Set to true to see errors on web page when there is a panic error on gobis
  show_error: false
  # Chain others routes in a routes
  routes: ~
  # Will forward directly to proxified route OPTIONS method without using middlewares
  options_passthrough: false
  # It was made to pass arbitrary params to use it after in gobis middlewares
  # Here you can set cors parameters for cors middleware (see doc relative to middlewares)
  middleware_params:
    cors:
      max_age: 12
      allowed_origins:
      - http://localhost

1. Run gobis in your terminal and server is now started

In a cloud

Note: If a gobis config file exists routes, protected headers, start path and host will be merged against the service configuration.

On CloudFoundry as an a

1. Create a cups service named .*gobis-config with the same credentials set in yaml, example:

{
  "protected_headers": ["x-header-one"],
  "routes": [
    {
      "name": "app",
      "path": "/**",
      "url": "http://www.mocky.io/v2/595625d22900008702cd71e8",
      "show_error": true,
      "no_buffer": false
    }
  ]
}

1. Bind it to your gobis instance

---

You can either create a configuration to make your app be used as a route service, this how to to do this.

Your configuration should use forwarded_header set to X-CF-Forwarded-Url.

Url can be omitted but if you set it to the cloud foundry route where you want to redirect it will possible to create multiple gobis routes for different cloud foundry app.

Example of configuration:

{
  "protected_headers": ["x-header-one"],
  "routes": [
    {
      "name": "my-cf-app",
      "path": "/**",
      "url": "http://my_cf_app_under_gobis.external.domain.cf",
      "forwarded_header": "X-CF-Forwarded-Url",
      "show_error": true,
      "no_buffer": false
    }
  ]
}

you can now create an user provided route service (cf cups to-gobis -r https://gobis.external.domain.cf) and bind it to your app route which will be under gobis (cf bind-route-service external.domain.cf to-gobis --hostname my_cf_app_under_gobis)

On Heroku or Kubernetes

1. Create an env var or service named .*CONFIG where you put your configuration in json, example:

{
  "protected_headers": ["x-header-one"],
  "routes": [
    {
      "name": "app",
      "path": "/**",
      "url": "http://www.mocky.io/v2/595625d22900008702cd71e8",
      "show_error": true,
      "no_buffer": false
    }
  ]
}

1. Your configuration should be loaded

Sidecar

Gobis-server can be used as a sidecar in a container. This actually mean that it will receive all traffic in front of another web app and will reverse to this app. Sidecar intentionally force to have one route and redirect everything to app beside. To do so simply run with --sidecar argument, this will auto-detect your environment. You can chose yourself environment by using argument --sidecar-env

See sidecars-buildpack for usage on a cloud supporting buildpacks.
