How to make caddy redirect/use my DNS server? - proxy

I have a DNS server in my local network running on 192.168.1.1 where I've defined the following entry:
something.home 192.168.1.10
and I'd like to make caddy running (in a container) on the host with address 192.168.1.10 to be able to use that DNS server when resolving local addresses.
For now I have the following in my Caddyfile
something.home:80 {
proxy / 192.168.1.10:9999 {
transparent
}
errors stderr
tls off
}
I'd like to have:
something.home:80 {
proxy / something:9999 {
transparent
}
errors stderr
tls off
}
to redirect to server actually listening on 192.168.1.10:9999 inside a container named something.
Can I do that or is there a different approach?

caddy - setting https to localhost on mac

I am using caddy v2.3.0 on mac
If run caddy run i am getting following
My Caddyfile
{
local_certs
}
demoCart.dev:443 {
reverse_proxy http://localhost:3000
}
If I run caddy validate it says Valid configuration
When I am trying to access it on the browser with https://democart.dev
I may be wrong, but this looks like a DNS issue rather than a caddy issue.
Have you set up your DNS to point democart.dev to your machine? Caddy will only be able to serve it if it points to your machines IP address in the first place.
Try
localhost:443 {
reverse_proxy http://localhost:3000
}
and see if that works.

Getting subdomains to work locally with Laravel

I am having a hard time getting subdomains to work locally. I have Docker serving the application to port 8080, and I am able to see the Laravel welcome screen. I then have a simple route setup like this:
Route::domain('{name}.localhost:8087')->group(function () {
return 'Hello World';acrylic dns
});
I am using Laravel's basic server, i.e. php artisan serve --host=0.0.0.0 --port=8087
When I try and view the page, nothing happens. It just goes to the welcome screen. I have even tried adding 'test.localhost' to the /etc/hosts file. Couple questions:
1) Can you have the port in the host like I have it there (in the Laravel route)?
2) I have seem somewhat similar posts where the solution was to use acrylic dns (on windows). I am using a Mac. Is this something where I need an actual DNS server?
3) I am planning on using nginx, do I need a 'beefier' web server to accomplish this?
With the basic Laravel server I have tried hard coding test.localhost in the route, with and without the port. I'm sure I am goofing something up, just not sure where. I am on a Mac, and I am running Laravel 5.6. Thanks in advance!
1) No, the web server configuration will listen on the port.
// nginx
server {
listen 8080;
...
}
2) You add the subdomains in your /etc/hosts file and create separate nginx configurations:
// /etc/hosts
subdomain1.foo.localhost 127.0.0.1
subdomain2.foo.localhost 127.0.0.1
subdomain3.foo.localhost 127.0.0.1
// nginx subdomain1.foo.localhost.conf
server {
listen 8080;
server_name subdomain1.foo.localhost;
...
}
// nginx subdomain2.foo.localhost.conf
server {
# set different port if needed
# listen 8082
listen 8080;
server_name subdomain2.foo.localhost;
...
}
// nginx subdomain3.foo.localhost.conf
server {
# set different port if needed
# listen 8083
listen 8080;
server_name subdomain3.foo.localhost;
...
}
3) Nginx is a production ready web server, you may need load balancers and multiple instances of the web servers to scale out, but nginx will be more than sufficient.
If you're using Artisan serve, go to
/etc/hosts (or similar)
127.0.0.1 subdomain.localhost
And open in the browser
subdomain.localhost:8087

Access Docker forwarded port on Mac

What do I do wrong?
Omg, desired service started on 127.0.0.1 in container, that is why it wasn't visible from outside world. I've modified service config to start on 0.0.0.0 and now I can access forwarded container port
I had the same problem and was able to fix it by specifying the host that the server within the container uses.
NOTE: when using host below, it means a web server host. When I use host-machine, I mean the main operating system I'm using, (i.e. not a container or a web server, just my laptop as a machine)
The Problem
Running web servers on the container like webpack-dev-server and http-server automatically run the app using a host of http://localhost. Typically you will see that in the output when you start the server. Something like :
Project is running at http://localhost:8080
or
Server available at http://127.0.0.1:8080
On most machines, localhost and 127.0.0.1 are the same thing. This host is not publicly viewable. As a result, your host machine can't see anything, even though it's looking in the right place.
Solution
You should specify a public host when you run the server inside your container.
webpack-dev-server --port 8080 --host 0.0.0.0
or
http-server -p 8080 -a 0.0.0.0
Because the 0.0.0.0 address is viewable to any outside machine, you should be able to see your app working as expected from your host machine.
NOTE: This works for any server, like Python's SimpleHTTPServer, etc. Just look up how to change the host for your chosen server in the documentation

Access web server over https in a Docker container

I'm using Boot2Docker to manage Docker containers in Windows and I have a container running an IBM Liberty server (I guess is the same for any other server), I can access the server home screen in the host machine using only the ip (which I get using the command boot2docker ip), but if I try to access the server using the https port, like this xx.xx.xx.xx:9443 the connection fails.
I tried forwarding the port in VirtualBox like this:
And then access the server using the ports 1000 or 1001, but it fails too.
Am I missing something?
BTW, I'm using default NAT connection.
https uses port 443 (not 9443) by default.
Make both "Host Port" and "Guest Port" 443 and try again.

Problems accessing grunt live server (mac) from mobile device

The server works fine locally, but I can't access the server from outside when I'm entering the hostname in my mobile browser (webpage not available). I my Gruntfile.js i have
connect: {
options: {
port: 9000,
hostname: '130.236.124.57',
livereload: 35729
},//...
where hostname is the ip (inet) adress I get when I'm running ifconfig in the terminal.
You should change your hostname to 0.0.0.0 to allow external requests and restart your grunt server.
Next, access your external server with your machine specific hostname/IP
