marquis
=======

[](#marquis)

A simple way to point local domains to internal ports

Introduction
------------

[](#introduction)

Develop on Mac OS and love [docker](https://www.docker.com) or [vagrant](https://www.vagrantup.com) for local development?

Sick to death of remembering port numbers you have mapped to your VM's or containers? Join the club.

Marquis is wrapper around [DnsMasq](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dnsmasq) and [nginx](https://www.nginx.com) for Mac developers to point a local domain name to a port running on localhost.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Marquis requires macOS and [Homebrew](http://brew.sh/). Before installation, you should make sure that no other programs such as Apache or Nginx are binding to your local machine's port 80

- Install or update [Homebrew](http://brew.sh/) to the latest version using brew update.
- Install PHP > 5.6 using Homebrew. e.g.`$ brew install homebrew/php/php72`
- Install Marquis with Composer via `$ composer global require alexwight/marquis`. Make sure the ~/.composer/vendor/bin directory is in your system's "PATH".
- Run the `$ marquis install` command. This will configure and install Nginx and DnsMasq.

Usage Examples
--------------

[](#usage-examples)

`marquis site [subdomain] [target protocol] [destination port] [-- listen port]`

### HTTP

[](#http)

To access target at `http://localhost:8080`

`$ marquis site myapp http 8080`

You can now access at `http://myapp.test`

### HTTPS

[](#https)

To access target at `https://localhost:8443`

`$ marquis site myapp https 8443`

You can now access at `https://myapp.test`

SSL Certificate is automatically generated and trusted. HTTP/2 enabled by default.

Docker example
--------------

[](#docker-example)

`docker pull karthequian/helloworld:latest`

`docker run -p 8001:80/tcp "karthequian/helloworld:latest"`

Site now available at

`$ marquis site howdy http 8001`

Site also now available at

### SSL Termination

[](#ssl-termination)

Proxy will handle the SSL termination so can handle https when the backend does not expose it, e.g.

`marquis site howdy http 8001 443`

Site also now available at

Problems?
---------

[](#problems)

I'm just using this for myself and putting this up there incase anyone else wants it. If you are using this then I assume you are a developer. Fix it and submit a pull request.
