Certainly! Let’s create the proxy service step by step. I’ll assume you’re using NGINX as the
reverse proxy, but you can adapt these instructions for other proxy software as well.
1. Install NGINX:
First, ensure that NGINX is installed on your server. If not, install it using your
package manager (e.g., apt, yum, or brew).
2. Create a Configuration File:
Create a new configuration file for your proxy service. You can place it in
/etc/nginx/conf.d/ or any other suitable location.
For example, create a file named my_proxy.conf.
3. Configure NGINX:
Edit my_proxy.conf and add the following basic configuration:
server {
listen 443 ssl;
server_name proxy.example.com; # Change to your domain
ssl_certificate /path/to/proxy.crt;
ssl_certificate_key /path/to/proxy.key;
location /api/service1/ {
proxy_pass http://localhost:8001; # Change to your service1 address
}
location /api/service2/ {
proxy_pass http://localhost:8002; # Change to your service2 address
}
# Add similar location blocks for other services...
# Other proxy settings...
}
Replace placeholders (proxy.example.com, /api/service1/, /api/service2/, etc.) with
your actual values.
Adjust the proxy_pass URLs to point to the correct backend services (e.g., Go service,
DB service).
4. Test the Configuration:
Run sudo nginx -t to check if the configuration is valid.
If there are no errors, reload NGINX: sudo systemctl reload nginx.
5. Start Your Backend Services:
Ensure that your other services (NGINX, Go, PostgreSQL, etc.) are running and
listening on their respective ports (e.g., 8001, 8002).
6. Firewall Rules:
Adjust your firewall rules to allow incoming traffic on port 443 (HTTPS) and any
other necessary ports.
7. Access Your Services via Proxy:
Now, when you access https://proxy.example.com/api/service1/, NGINX will
forward the request to your service1.
Similarly, requests to https://proxy.example.com/api/service2/ will go to service2.
8. Security Considerations:
Keep your proxy.crt and proxy.key files secure.
Regularly monitor and update your proxy configuration as needed.
Remember to adjust the configuration according to your specific use case. NGINX provides
😊
many additional features (load balancing, caching, etc.) that you can explore based on your
requirements.
