http_reverse_proxy

This project has been built with the AI Deepseek, for the fun and to learn Rust.

The story behind this software (clic here)

Installation

• The Rust tool chain is mandatory
• build

cargo build --release
# If you need to listen on port under 1024 as non root
sudo setcap 'cap_net_bind_service=+ep' target/release/http_reverse_proxy
cp target/release/http_reverse_proxy /usr/local/bin
# to store config and tls certificates (pem)
mkdir -p /etc/http_reverse_proxy/certs/

• Create config.yaml: copy from config-sample.yaml
• copy config.yaml to /etc/http_reverse_proxy/, you could specify an other path with the parameter "-c"
• run nohup http_reverse_proxy &

Websocket test server

Requires installation of Nodejs. This service implements a simplistic websockets server. The Js code has been provided by the DeepSeep AI.

# install Nodejs
sudo apt install nodejs
npm install

Run the service (default listener port is 8080) : nodejs wsserver.js

To test operation, use the command: node_modules/.bin/wscat -c ws://localhost:8080

Roadmap

• Yaml Configuration: frontend ⇨ acl ⇨ backend ⇨ servers
• Frontends :
  • Listeners HTTP/HTTPS
  • upgrade websocket
    • HTTP
    • HTTPS
• Backends :
  • HTTP et HTTPS (including websockets)
• Roundrobin distribution, only
• Inserting the “X-Forwarded-For” header
• API Rest for configuration changes
• Apply configuration without restarting (hot-reload)
• Automatic loading of certificates (pem format) for TLS resolution
• Integrate a (basic) anti-bot system. The aim is not to develop a complete system, but to attempt an implementation at the heart of the LoadBalancer.
• Tls certificate fallback
