Fortio simple TLS/ingress autocert proxy

Front end for running fortio report for instance standalone with TLS / Autocert and routing rules to multiplex multiple service behind a common TLS ingress (works with and allows multiplexing of grpc and h2c servers too)

Any -certs-domains ending with .ts.net will be handled by the Tailscale cert client (see https://tailscale.com/kb/1153/enabling-https). Or you can now specify -tailscale and it will get the local server name and domain automatically using the tailscale go client api.

using golang 1.20+ (improved ReverseProxy api and security from 1.18)

go install fortio.org/proxy@latest
sudo setcap CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE=+eip $(which proxy)

If you don't need or want the tailscale support, add -tags no_tailscale for a much smaller binary.

You can also download one of the many binary releases

We publish a multi architecture docker image (linux/amd64, linux/arm64) docker run fortio/proxy

See example of setup in https://github.com/fortio/demo-deployment

You can define routing rules using host or prefix matching, for instance:

[
  {
    "host": "grpc.fortio.org",
    "destination": "http://127.0.0.1:8079"
  },
  {
    "prefix": "/fgrpc.PingServer",
    "destination": "http://127.0.0.1:8079"
  },
  {
    "prefix": "/grpc.health.v1.Health/Check",
    "destination": "http://127.0.0.1:8079"
  },
  {
    "host": "*",
    "destination": "http://127.0.0.1:8080"
  }
]

And which domains/common names you will accept and request certificates for (coma separated list in -certs-domains flag or dynamic config directory)

Optionally you can also configure debug-host for a Host (header, Authority in h2) that will serve a secured variant of fortio's debug handler for these requests: you can see it on https://debug.fortio.org/a/random/test

There is a simpler config for single/default route: If you want to setup TLS and forward everything to local (h2c) http server running on port 3000

go run fortio.org/proxy@latest -certs-domains ...your..server..full..name -h2 -default-route localhost:3000

(http:// prefix can be omitted in the default route only)

You can get full help/flags using

proxy help

Use -timeout 0 or a high value like 1h if you're going to use it to download/upload large models or otherwise slow transactions. The default is 1 minute maximum.
