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 optionally deflate and filter
  • Create a new file: /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/pdrone.conf (content see below)
  • Add ProxyRequests Off to /etc/apache2/default-server.conf
