data-app-dns-service

This is a Caddy module that serves as a upstream source for reverse proxies, specifically designed to be used with Databutton's devx and prodx services.

It retrieves information about available services and their locations from a Google Firestore database and provides them to the reverse proxy to be used in forwarding requests.

Prerequisites

To use this module, you need the following:

• Go version compatible with go.mod version installed on your system.
• The xcaddy tool installed.

You can install the xcaddy tool by running the following command:

go install github.com/caddyserver/xcaddy/cmd/xcaddy@latest

and add the $HOME/go/bin directory to your PATH environment variable.

Usage

To use this module, follow these steps:

1. Clone this repository on your system.
2. In the repository directory, run make dev to build the module and start Caddy with the custom Caddyfile included in the repository.

Upgrading packages

Some packages have fragile dependencies. In case of trouble, try to stick to versions caddy uses here:

https://github.com/caddyserver/caddy/blob/master/go.mod

What usually works is to rm go.sum, delete dependencies in go.mod and run go get with the packages to install. E.g. I just ran this and got things working again:

go get cloud.google.com/go/firestore@latest github.com/caddyserver/caddy/v2@latest github.com/getsentry/sentry-go@latest go.uber.org/zap@latest google.golang.org/api@latest google.golang.org/grpc@latest

You're supposed to be able to run go get -u and/or go mod tidy and get things sorted out but it often doesn't work.
