proxy pass assistance

[jungle-boogie]

Hello,

I have a simple nginx config as follows:

 server {
    listen       80;
    server_name  localhost;

    #charset koi8-r;

    #access_log  logs/host.access.log  main;

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://10.132.5.134:8080/;
        proxy_redirect off;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    }

Can Caddy do something similar with the proxy setup as is?

Your equivalent Caddyfile would be:

localhost:80
proxy / http://10.132.5.134:8000 {
    proxy_header X-Real-IP {remote}
    proxy_header Host {host}
}

This can be obtained from the proxy docs.

It's been a while since I've done much with the proxy middleware -- I'm not sure, off-hand, if the Host header needs to be set explicitly, but I do believe X-Forwarded-For is already set for you. (Feel free to double-check if that works for you.)

Thanks so much!

Is the code for caddyserver.com on github? If so, can I make a PR with this example?

It's here: https://github.com/caddyserver/caddyserver.com

You're certainly welcome to submit a PR, but keep in mind there's a couple similar examples already; is this one different enough that it merits its own example? (Just don't want to overwhelm the reader.)
