Micro Web
Micro web provides a visual point of entry for the micro environment and should replicate the features of the CLI.
Features
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| UI | A dashboard to view and query running services |
| Proxy | A reverse proxy to micro web services (includes websocket support) |
Proxy
Micro Web has a built in HTTP reverse proxy for micro web apps. This essentially allows you to treat web applications as first class citizens in a microservices environment. The proxy will use /[service] along with the namespace (default: go.micro.web) to lookup the service in service discovery. It composes service name as [namespace].[name].
The proxy will strip /[service] forwarded the rest of the path to the web app. It will also set the header "X-Micro-Web-Base-Path" to the stripped path incase you need to use it for some reason like constructing URLs.
Example translation
| Path | Service | Service Path | Header: X-Micro-Web-Base-Path |
|---|---|---|---|
| /foo | go.micro.web.foo | / | /foo |
| /foo/bar | go.micro.web.foo | /bar | /foo |
Note: The web proxy speaks to services using HTTP. There is no ability to switch out transport.
Getting Started
Install
go get github.com/micro/microRun Web UI/Proxy
micro webBrowse to localhost:8082
Serve Secure TLS
The Web proxy supports serving securely with TLS certificates
micro --enable_tls --tls_cert_file=/path/to/cert --tls_key_file=/path/to/key webSet Namespace
The Web defaults to serving the namespace go.micro.web. The combination of namespace and request path are used to resolve a service to reverse proxy for.
micro --web_namespace=com.example.webStats
You can enable a stats dashboard via the --enable_stats flag. It will be exposed on /stats.
