Pine is a simple rust-based reverse proxy built on top of hyper that supports multiple hosts and has super simple configuration!
Please note that this should probably not be used in favor of cobalt, which is a better solution on many different levels.
To install the current version normally, run
cargo install --git https://github.com/blobcode/pine
This assumes that you have both cargo and git installed.
For next steps, take a look in usage.
To install for development, clone this git repo and cd into it
git clone https://github.com/blobcode/pine
cd pine
and run it using cargo.
cargo run
For best performance, run using the release flag enabled.
cargo run --release
Pine relies on a configuration file named pine.toml in the current working directory or one specified using pine <path to pine.toml>. An example pine.toml is provided below.
port = 8080
[[host]]
from = ["localhost:8080", "example.com"]
to = "localhost:4000"
Let's take a look at [[host]]. It represents an internal http service you want forwarded externally. In our case, it denotes that we should forward all requests looking for localhost:8080 or example.com to localhost:4000.
If you want to include load balancing, take a look at another project of mine, scarf, a super simple tcp load balancer written in rust.
