Student Robotics Website Reverse Proxy

Build status

The reverse proxy which pulls together all the pieces of the Student Robotics public website.

Getting Started

  1. Install Docker

  2. Fetch the latest base image:

    $ docker pull nginx

  3. Build the image:

    $ docker build --tag srobo/reverse-proxy .

  4. Start the container:

    $ docker run --rm -p 80:80 --name srobo srobo/reverse-proxy

    Note: You can change the bound ports so they don't conflict with your local host's configuration. For example, you might want to replace -p 80:80 with -p 8080:80.

  5. Visit http://localhost in a browser (adjust the port as needed if you edited it), and confirm that you see a copy of the SR website (also check that you didn't get redirect to the real one!)

  6. Make your changes to the nginx.conf

  7. Get those changes into the container and reload nginx:

    $ docker cp nginx.conf srobo:/etc/nginx/nginx.conf && docker kill -s HUP srobo

  8. Refresh your browser and bask in the glory of your changes

Making changes

When you've made a change, either push it to a forked repository, or to a feature branch, and raise a pull request.

Deployment

Note: full deployment instructions are separate.

The master branch of repo is built into a Docker image by Circle CI which is then deployed manually into a Kubernetes hosted on DigitalOcean.
