Reverse Proxy - Feature Request #163

Closed DrEVILish closed 6 years ago

DrEVILish commented 6 years ago

MuxiMux in a Docker container is the perfect front end, for linking all my apps together, but I have to expose all the services outward facing.

I'd like to have muximux as my single outside package and use internal routing through muxi to reach my apps. Adds a layer of security and also it's already built into docker using links, i.e link Sickrage-Container1 as sickrage, then to access sickrage you just http://sickrage/ rather than having to port forward or setup individual external services. When you want to add or change a service you just have to docker link it to muximux and external it.

This is way beyond the scope of Muximux. What you are describing is exactly what nginx was written for. To act as a reverse proxy. Muximux is not that big of a project that we should start competing with nginx, apache and other reverse proxies just for the sake of convenience, when outstanding, free and open-source projects already fulfill this purpose and does an excellent job at it.

Closed.
