    taco_dev [SUBCOMMAND]

    nginx      Set up NGINX
    reload     Restart nginx

Requirements

• dnsmasq - Dnsmasq provides network infrastructure for small networks: DNS, DHCP, router advertisement and network boot.
• nginx - HTTP and reverse proxy server.

If you are on Mac and has howebrew installed, simply run homebrew install dnsmasq nginx.

Usage

1. Setup dnsmasq

$ taco_dev dnsmasq --domain=test

To verify:

$ ping taco_dev.test
PING taco_dev.test (127.0.0.1): 56 data bytes

2. Setup nginx

To tell nginx to proxy a request to port 80, we need to defined the upstream server. It can be either a local server running on a specific port localhost:8080 or a unix socket object unix:/tmp/example.test.

$ taco_dev nginx --upstream=127.0.0.1:8000 --server=taco_dev.test --root=/Users/fraserxu/projects/taco_dev;

This will add a taco_dev.conf in nginx/servers directory.

upstream taco_dev.test {
    server unix:/tmp/taco_dev;
}

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name taco_dev.test;
    root /Users/fraserxu/projects/taco_dev;

    try_files $uri/index.html $uri @taco_dev.test;

    location @taco_dev.test {
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
        proxy_redirect off;

        proxy_pass http://taco_dev.test;
    }
}

3. Reload nginx and :tada:

$ taco_dev reload
$ open http://taco_dev.test
