Getting Started

Before diving into the development of your first proxy, please install the latest version of envoy.

As an example, let's encapsulate an arbitrary script execution on a REST HTTP endpoint, and protect the call with basic authentication.

Steps

• Step 1: Define your proxy

Edit and save the following snippet as proxy-script-conf.yaml

proxies:
   my_script:
     pattern: "/exec/clean"
     method: POST
     policy:
       - basic_auth: {username: "user", password: "changeMeNow"}
       - exec: {command: "/opt/scripts/clean-up.sh"}

• Step 2: Run envoy If you have not installed yet

$ envoy start --conf-dir="path/to/dir/proxy-script-conf.yaml"

• Step 3: Test it!

$ curl -i -X POST -u user:changeMeNow  http://127.0.0.1/exec/clean
