**A super simple reverse proxy with TLS support**

## Installation

With [Rust installed](https://rustup.rs), use this command to install it:

```sh

cargo install proxyboi

```

You can also download binaries from the [latest release on GitHub](https://github.com/svenstaro/proxyboi/releases/latest).

## How to run

In order to listen for proxy requests on all local interfaces on port 8080 and proxy them to a service running at example.com, do:

    proxyboi -l 0.0.0.0:8080 http://example.com

You can also feed your TLS certificates into it:

    proxyboi -l 0.0.0.0:8080 --cert mycert.pem --key mykey.key http://example.com

You can see a detailed (and pretty!) verbose log using `-v`:

    proxyboi -l 0.0.0.0:8080 http://example.com -v

## Releasing

This is mostly a note for me on how to release this thing:

- Make sure `CHANGELOG.md` is up to date.

- `cargo release --dry-run `

- `cargo release `

- Releases will automatically be deployed by Github Actions.

- Docker images will automatically be built by Docker Hub.

- Update Arch package.
