Implementation

This is currently a small component, because only one project is supported and the project is not yet integrated in the targeted network.

In its current form only a reverse proxy under a temporary domain is set up, enabling HTTPS. Because it is used on a residential connection Dynamic DNS is set up on the Router.

Domain

The domain is currently bought from namecheap.

Dyn-DNS

The Dynamic DNS is provided by a "Fritz Box" router set up to communicate with the namecheap service. It periodically updates the current IP-Adress of the residential connection.

Certificates

Even tough namecheap provides certificates it is easier to use the automatic certification via Let's Encrypt.

Reverse Proxy

The used reverse proxy is a caddy server. It enables automatic certificates via Let's Encrypt. It is written in the programming language Go. This has the benefit, that Go programs are mostly compiled to a single executable, making the deployment very easy. The caddy server also uses a single configuration file. The configuration used for the reverse proxies can be viewed in the setup section

The reverse proxy supports the following routes.

A reverse proxy is used to create a unified front and as a TLS boundary.
