redbird

A reverse proxy for nodejs with support for dynamic proxy tables based on redis or etcd.

This light weight package includes everything you need for easy reverse routing of your applications. Great for routing many applications from different domains in one single host.

Manuel routing example

You can manually register or unregister routes dynamically.

var Redbird = require('redbird');

var proxy = new Redbird({port: 80});

// Route to any global ip
proxy.register("optimalbits.com", "http://167.23.42.67:8000");

// Route to any local ip, for example from docker containers.
proxy.register("example.com", "http://172.17.42.1:8001");
proxy.register("example.com/static", "http://172.17.42.1:8002");
proxy.register("example.com/media", "http://172.17.42.1:8003");

proxy.register("abc.example.com", "http://172.17.42.4:8080");
proxy.register("abc.example.com/media", "http://172.17.42.5:8080");
