Ory Proxy

A simple library that exposes a go http.Handler to proxy requests to and from an Ory Network project. The library includes sane defaults and provides an easy way to configure the proxy to fit your project needs.

The Ory CLI already provides proxy/tunnel capabilities, however, when deploying a Go service to serverless infrastructure you need to add a custom domain to your Ory Network.

This doesn't always work, since you might have test services or staging services that do not need a custom domain setup. This library helps with that.

Get Started

go get -u github.com/Benehiko/oryproxy

Setup the proxy as a standalone service

package main

import "github.com/Benehiko/oryproxy"

func main() {
    config := oryproxy.NewDefaultConfig("https://project-slug.projects.oryapis.com")
    proxy := oryproxy.NewOryProxy(config)
    proxy.ListenAndServe(ctx, 3000)
}

Or integrate into your existing service

package main

import (
    "github.com/Benehiko/oryproxy"
    "github.com/gorilla/mux"
)

func main() {
    config := oryproxy.NewDefaultConfig("https://project-slug.projects.oryapis.com")
    proxy := oryproxy.NewOryProxy(config)

    router := mux.NewRouter()
    // /.ory is the default path prefix for the proxy.
    // this can be changed.
    router.PathPrefix("/.ory").Handler(proxy.OryProxy())
}

Limitations

Although this library proxies requests to and from Ory, it is still subject to rate-limiting on the Ory Network project subscription you have. Free-tier projects can easily hit rate-limits and you should consider upgrading as soon as you have real traffic on your service.

This library is not officially supported by Ory. Please do not open support tickets on the Ory repositories regarding this project nor ask for support on their Slack channel.
