            path_proxy: /version/
            path_protected: true

Version cmd show Build Time, version hash and version for the current binary

Print the version number of ngonxctl

Usage:
  ngonxctl version [flags]

Flags:
  -h, --help   help for version

Global Flags:
  -f, --cfgfile string   File setting.yml (default "ngonx.yaml")
  -p, --cfgpath string   Config path only  (default "path/binary")

Start Proxy server first time

Run ngonx as a reverse proxy

Usage:
  ngonxctl proxy [flags]

Flags:
      --genkey           Action for generate hash for protected routes
  -h, --help             help for proxy
      --port int         Port to serve to run proxy (default 5000)
      --prevkey string   Action for save a previous hash for protected routes to validate JWT

Global Flags:
  -f, --cfgfile string   File setting.yml (default "ngonx.yaml")
  -p, --cfgpath string   Config path only  (default "path/binary")

genkey command in true generate random secretkey and save on badgerdb on badger.data

./ngonxctl proxy -port 5000 -genkey true

prevkey command receive a custom secretkey and save this on badgerdb on badger.data

./ngonxctl proxy -port 5000 -prevkey <secretKey>

Start Proxy server

./ngonxctl proxy -port 5000

Start load balancer

Run ngonx as a load balancer (round robin)

Usage:
  ngonxctl lb [flags]

Flags:
      --backends string   Load balanced backends, use commas to separate (default "ngonx.yaml")
  -h, --help              help for lb

./ngonxctl grpc

Metrics

Currently ngonx use prometheus as a metric collector. The main service proxy expose for port 10000 on route /metrics

curl http://localhost:10000/metrics

Management API & Web(coming...)

Currently ngonx use port 10001 for export a simple api to check all services

curl http://localhost:10001/api/v1/mngt/

Method	Path
GET	/
GET	/health
GET	/readiness
GET	/wss

UI on http://localhost:10001/

How to interact with app for testing reasson

Start API PoC service

go run  services/micro-a/api.go --port <port>

Start Gprc services from example folder

Excute from makefile the following cmds

make grpcsvr # for start server

make make grpccli #for start client

Install badger db on window if you don`t use CGO

CGO_ENABLED=0 go get github.com/dgraph-io/badger/v3

Generate customs SSL (key,cert,pem,crs,cnf)

cd scripts

chmod +x ./generate.sh

./generate.sh

Generate SSL (throug let`s encrypt)

Check this post "Contratar un certificado SSL Gratis con Let's Encrypt y configurar Nginx" by @acoronado for more information.

apt-get install -y certbot

certbot certonly \
    -d midominio.com \
    --noninteractive \
    --standalone \
    --agree-tos \
    --register-unsafely-without-email

Then configure our ngonx.yaml and add the ssl files generated by certbot

# For SSL static server
  ssl_server:
    enable: true
    ssl_port: 8443
    crt_file: /etc/letsencrypt/live/mydomain.com/fullchain.pem
    key_file: /etc/letsencrypt/live/mydomain.com/privkey.pem
# For SSL proxy server
  ssl_proxy:
    enable: true
    ssl_port: 443
    crt_file: /etc/letsencrypt/live/mydomain.com/fullchain.pem
    key_file: /etc/letsencrypt/live/mydomain.com/privkey.pem

When the ssl certification was expired you need to renew all certificates with the following commnad

certbot renew
