Modules & Configuration
-----

Goldilocks has several core systems, which all have their own configuration and
some of which have modules:

* [http](#http)
  - [proxy (reverse proxy)](#httpproxy-how-to-reverse-proxy-ruby-python-etc)
  - [static](#httpstatic-how-to-serve-a-web-page)
  - [redirect](#httpredirect-how-to-redirect-urls)
* [tls](#tls)
  - [proxy (reverse proxy)](#tlsproxy)
  - [acme](#tlsacme)
* [tcp](#tcp)
  - [forward](#tcpforward)
* [udp](#udp)
  - [forward](#udpforward)
* [domains](#domains)
* [tunnel_server](#tunnel_server)
* [tunnel_client](#tunnel)
* [mdns](#mdns)
* api

All modules require a `type` and an `id`, and any modules not defined inside the
`domains` system also require a `domains` field (with the exception of the `forward`
modules that require the `ports` field).

### http

The HTTP system handles plain http (TLS / SSL is handled by the tls system)

Example config:
```yml
http:
  trust_proxy: true                 # allow localhost, 192.x, 10.x, 172.x, etc to set headers
  allow_insecure: false             # allow non-https even without proxy https headers
  primary_domain: example.com       # attempts to access via IP address will redirect here

  # An array of modules that define how to handle incoming HTTP requests
  modules:
    - type: static
      domains:
        - example.com
      root: /srv/www/:hostname
```

### http.proxy - how to reverse proxy (ruby, python, etc)

The proxy module is for reverse proxying, typically to an application on the same machine.
(Though it can also reverse proxy to other devices on the local network.)

It has the following options:
```
address     The DNS-resolvable hostname (or IP address) and port connected by `:` to proxy the request to.
            Takes priority over host and port if they are also specified.
            ex: locahost:3000
            ex: 192.168.1.100:80

host        The DNS-resolvable hostname (or IP address) of the system to which the request will be proxied.
            Defaults to localhost if only the port is specified.
            ex: localhost
            ex: 192.168.1.100

port        The port on said system to which the request will be proxied
            ex: 3000
            ex: 80
```

Example config:
```yml
http:
  modules:
    - type: proxy
      domains:
        - api.example.com
      host: 192.168.1.100
      port: 80
    - type: proxy
      domains:
        - www.example.com
      address: 192.168.1.16:80
    - type: proxy
      domains:
        - '*'
      port: 3000
```

### http.static - how to serve a web page

The static module is for serving static web pages and assets and has the following options:

```
root        The path to serve as a string.
            The template variable `:hostname` represents the HTTP Host header without port information
            ex: `root: /srv/www/example.com` would load the example.com folder for any domain listed
            ex: `root: /srv/www/:hostname` would load `/srv/www/example.com` if so indicated by the Host header
```

Example config:
```yml
http:
  modules:
    - type: static
      domains:
        - example.com
      root: /srv/www/:hostname
```

### http.redirect - how to redirect URLs

The redirect module is for, you guessed it, redirecting URLs.

It has the following options:
```
status      The HTTP status code to issue (301 is usual permanent redirect, 302 is temporary)
            ex: 301

from        The URL path that was used in the request.
            The `*` wildcard character can be used for matching a full segment of the path
            ex: /photos/
            ex: /photos/*/*/

to          The new URL path which should be used.
            If wildcards matches were used they will be available as `:1`, `:2`, etc.
            ex: /pics/
            ex: /pics/:1/:2/
```

Example config:
```yml
http:
  modules:
    - type: proxy
      domains:
        - example.com
      status: 301
      from: /archives/*/*/*/
      to: https://example.net/year/:1/month/:2/day/:3/
```

### tls

The tls system handles encrypted connections, including fetching certificates,
and uses ServerName Indication (SNI) to determine if the connection should be
handled by the http system, a tls system module, or rejected.

Example config:
```yml
tls:
  modules:
    - type: proxy
      domains:
        - example.com
        - example.net
      address: '127.0.0.1:6443'
```

Certificates are saved to `~/acme`, which may be `/var/www/acme` if Goldilocks is run as the www-data user.

### tls.proxy

The proxy module routes the traffic based on the ServerName Indication (SNI) **without decrypting** it.

It has the same options as the [HTTP proxy module](#httpproxy-how-to-reverse-proxy-ruby-python-etc).

Example config:
```yml
tls:
  modules:
    - type: proxy
      domains:
        - example.com
      address: '127.0.0.1:5443'
```

### tls.acme

The acme module defines the setting used when getting new certificates.

It has the following options:
```
email              The email address for ACME certificate issuance
                   ex: john.doe@example.com

server             The ACME server to use
                   ex: https://acme-v01.api.letsencrypt.org/directory
                   ex: https://acme-staging.api.letsencrypt.org/directory

challenge_type     The ACME challenge to request
                   ex: http-01, dns-01, tls-01
```

Example config:
```yml
tls:
  modules:
    - type: acme
      domains:
        - example.com
        - example.net
      email: 'joe.shmoe@example.com'
      server: 'https://acme-staging.api.letsencrypt.org/directory'
      challenge_type: 'http-01'
```

### tcp

The tcp system handles all tcp network traffic **before decryption** and may use port numbers
or traffic sniffing to determine how the connection should be handled.

It has the following options:
```
bind      An array of numeric ports on which to bind
          ex: 80
```

Example Config:
```yml
tcp:
  bind:
    - 22
    - 80
    - 443
  modules:
    - type: forward
      ports:
        - 22
      address: '127.0.0.1:2222'
```

### tcp.forward

The forward module routes traffic based on port number **without decrypting** it.

In addition to the same options as the [HTTP proxy module](#httpproxy-how-to-reverse-proxy-ruby-python-etc),
the TCP forward modules also has the following options:

```
ports       A numeric array of source ports
            ex: 22
```

Example Config:
```yml
tcp:
  bind:
    - 22
    - 80
    - 443
  modules:
    - type: forward
      ports:
        - 22
      port: 2222
```

### udp

The udp system handles all udp network traffic. It currently only supports
forwarding the messages without any examination.

It has the following options:
```
bind      An array of numeric ports on which to bind
          ex: 53
```

Example Config:
```yml
udp:
  bind:
    - 53
  modules:
    - type: forward
      ports:
        - 53
      address: '127.0.0.1:8053'
```

### udp.forward

The forward module routes traffic based on port number **without decrypting** it.

It has the same options as the [TCP forward module](#tcpforward).

Example Config:
```yml
udp:
  bind:
    - 53
  modules:
    - type: forward
      ports:
        - 53
      address: '127.0.0.1:8053'
```

### domains

To reduce repetition defining multiple modules that operate on the same domain
name the `domains` field can define multiple modules of multiple types for a
single list of names. The modules defined this way do not need to have their
own `domains` field.

Example Config

```yml
domains:
  names:
    - example.com
    - www.example.com
    - api.example.com
  modules:
    tls:
      - type: acme
        email: joe.schmoe@example.com
        challenge_type: 'http-01'
    http:
      - type: redirect
        from: /deprecated/path
        to: /new/path
      - type: proxy
        port: 3000
```



### tunnel\_server

The tunnel server system is meant to be run on a publicly accessible IP address to server tunnel clients
which are behind firewalls, carrier-grade NAT, or otherwise Internet-connect but inaccessible devices.

It has the following options:

```
secret          A 128-bit or greater string to use for signing tokens (HMAC JWT)
                ex: abc123

servernames     An array of string servernames that should be captured as the
                tunnel server, ignoring the TLS forward module
                ex: api.tunnel.example.com
```

Example config:

```yml
tunnel_server:
  secret: abc123def456ghi789
  servernames:
    - 'api.tunnel.example.com'
```

### tunnel

The tunnel client is meant to be run from behind a firewalls, carrier-grade NAT,
or otherwise inaccessible devices to allow them to be accessed publicly on the
internet.

It has no options per se, but is rather a list of tokens that can be used to
connect to tunnel servers. If the token does not have an `aud` field it must be
provided in an object with the token provided in the `jwt` field and the tunnel
server url provided in the `tunnelUrl` field.

Example config:

```yml
tunnel:
  - 'some.jwt_encoded.token'
  - jwt: 'other.jwt_encoded.token'
    tunnelUrl: 'wss://api.tunnel.example.com/'
```

### ddns

TODO

### mdns

enabled by default

Although it does not announce itself, Goldilocks is discoverable via mDNS with the special query `_cloud._tcp.local`.
This is so that it can be easily configured via Desktop and Mobile apps when run on devices such as a Raspberry Pi or
SOHO servers.

```yaml
mdns:
  disabled: false
  port: 5353
  broadcast: '224.0.0.251'
  ttl: 300
```

You can discover goldilocks with `mdig`.

```
npm install -g git+https://git.daplie.com/Daplie/mdig.git

mdig _cloud._tcp.local
```

### socks5

Run a Socks5 proxy server.

```yaml
socks5:
  enable: true
  port: 1080
```

### api

See [API.md](/API.md)

@tigerbot: How are the APIs used (in terms of URL, Method, Headers, etc)?
