Workstation / CodeServer Setup about dotfiles HOT 12 CLOSED

Local network -> dnsmasq
Only machine -> /etc/hosts file

127.0.0.1    example.com

from dotfiles.

Add restart unless stopped to the nginx yaml file

from dotfiles.

Add Gzip Support

from dotfiles.

Apparently, if the docker is used locally, it should listen to example.com but example.com would not be in 127.0.0.1 because that is the docker's localhost. It should be redirecting the request to the machine IP. Something like 172.19.0.1

from dotfiles.

Redo this again before committing it to the guide.

from dotfiles.

Adding Local DNS support for custom domains can be in this task

from dotfiles.

Guide should explain hot to combine dnsmasq and nginx.

192.168.0.2:8080 --(dnsmasq)--> example.com:8080

192.168.0.2:8080 --(dnsmasq + nginx)--> example.com

If 192.168.0.2 is RPi machine and 192.168.0.3 is the Workstation (WS):

1. Browser asking DNS (on RPi): where is the example.com.
2. DNS respond: it is on 192.168.0.2.
3. Browser ask 192.168.0.2 (RPi): Give me example.com.
4. nginx (on 192.168.0.2) takes the request and follows this logic: the example.com is on 192.168.0.3:8080 (WS) so I will map that to the source of the request.

Expand the post and explain how to setup the nginx as well.

from dotfiles.

Add running code server as a daemon.

from dotfiles.

always redirect HTTP to HTTPS using nginx

from dotfiles.

nginx HTTP to HTTPS should be specific to each domain.

from dotfiles.

Explain hot to make DNS work locally

from dotfiles.

Explain that key generation has some pop ups and they can be empty, or filled.
