PackageDrone/HowTo/ReverseProxy
< PackageDrone
Revision as of 07:31, 26 November 2015 by Jens.reimann.ibh-systems.com (Talk | contribs) (→Ubuntu 14.04 LTS)
This page describes a few ways on how to put a reverse proxy (like Apache, NGINX) in front of Package Drone so that the initial HTTP request is served by another HTTP server and then forwarded to Package Drone.
There are a few pros and cons for using a reverse proxy. If you want a reverse proxy, this is the page which describes how to do it.
Ubuntu
Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
- Enable "proxy" and "deflate". Run as root:/
a2enmod proxy a2enmod proxy_http a2enmod deflate
- Create a new file:
/etc/apache2/sites-available/pdrone.conf
with the content of pdrone.conf (see below). - Activate site. Run as root:
a2ensite pdrone /etc/init.d/apache2 reload
OpenSUSE
OpenSuse 13 & Apache
SUSE has probably two ways of doing this. I am not a SUSE-guy, so there may be an easier way ;-)
- Install Apache 2 ->
zypper install apache2
- Start YAST and
* Enable Apache 2 * Enable modules:proxy
,mod_proxy_http
and optionallydeflate
andfilter
- Create a new file:
/etc/apache2/vhosts.d/pdrone.conf
(see below) - Add
ProxyRequests Off
to/etc/apache2/default-server.conf
