whitepages/keepalive-proxy repository overview

⁠Keepalive Proxy

This is an nginx based proxy with a simple setup which can be deployed close to the customer to do the following:

• keep the connections alive
• do a TLS termination

It is useful if the application does not support keep-alive connections or that would require architectural changes.

• ACCESS_LOG configures the logging format and destination, per default it is /dev/stdout main
• ERROR_LOG same for the error log, default is stderr
• RESOLVER the resolver to use defaults to 8.8.8.8
