README.md

Execute HTTPS proxy To Rails Apps in 2 Steps 1 step

Requirements

• Install caddy the easiest way to download the binary
• Have a domain/subdomain that points to 127.0.0.1/0.0.0.0/localhost etc.

To make a domain point to localhost we can use

• hosts file (in mac iHost can be used for this)
• dnsmasq

For this you only need 2 steps 1 step

Only step

  caddy reverse-proxy --from anysubdomain.lvh.me --to :3000 --internal-certs

First time will ask the pawssword to trust the cert.

After that go fake domain anysubdomain.lvh.me and will be done!! Try also with several ones!!

NOTE

If you want to use it as service you can use the Caddyfile with your normal service manager. But if you only download the binary you can do

  caddy start --config Caddyfile

---

The 2 step version is still valid

First step:

This step is only needed once. Unless you dont remove the trusted CA Cert you will not have to do it again anymore.

Trusting the CA Cert:

sudo bash -c "caddy start && caddy trust && caddy stop"

Second step

  caddy reverse-proxy --from anysubdomain.lvh.me --to :3000 --internal-certs

Caddyfile

https:// {
  log
  tls internal {
	  on_demand
  }
  reverse_proxy :3000
}
