  • :latest or :version for supporting services?
    3 projects | /r/selfhosted | 6 Dec 2023
    I do both! I tag my services with :latest, then use docker-lock. It scans your docker and docker-compose, generates a lock file and adds the current sha to git. That lets me freely update because I can always go get the previous version from git, rollback, and pin the version for that specific container if there is a problem. It really is the best of both worlds.

    Nice! I was thinking about building something similar -- just filed an issue for how you might extend this to work for migrating registries.

    Pleasantly surprised to come across this PR: https://github.com/safe-waters/docker-lock/pull/73

    This is a perfect application of crane :)

  • How to securely reverse-proxy ASP.NET Core web apps
    3 projects | dev.to | 4 Apr 2024
    However, it's very unlikely that .NET developers will directly expose their Kestrel-based web apps to the internet. Typically, we use other popular web servers like Nginx, Traefik, and Caddy to act as a reverse-proxy in front of Kestrel for various reasons:

    Not as good though. Case in point: https://github.com/traefik/traefik/issues/5472#issuecomment-... (that's just from this morning)

    I'm speak objectively here. Of course, any built-in auto HTTPS that works (more or less) is better than none. Traefik uses an ACME library that was originally written for Caddy. After the original author left that project, Traefik team started maintaining it. Caddy's users' requirements exceeded what the library was capable of, but unfortunately there was friction in getting it to achieve our requirements. So I ended up writing a new ACME client library in Go and, together with upgrades in CertMagic (Caddy's auto-TLS lib), Caddy has the more flexible, robust, and capable auto-HTTPS functionality.

    That is to say, not all auto-HTTPS functionalities are the same.

    We'll use Traefik, an open source cloud native gateway that can plug into a Kubernetes cluster. It has the concept of "middleware" that can process API requests before passing them through to a backend. We can configuring a rate limit for all of our API endpoints by matching on the request path:

    Traefik is another widely used system that has automatic configuration and offers support for more things like swarm/kubernetes/etc.

    I have a webapp which I currently have deployed by running nginx in a container. Works as it should, however I am intersted in adding more observability to the webapp and found this reverse-proxy https://github.com/traefik/traefik which seems to expose some nice metrics which can be useful for observability.
