Nginx Gateway Microservice Template

This template contains a complete stack utilising a Laravel API and React frontend with frontend TypeScript configured.

Why Use This Template?

Modularity

This template is completely modular. By default you will be able to spin up a Fullstack application with an Nginx gateway, but that doesn't mean you have to stick with that. You can spin up the client or API on their own perfectly reasonably using docker-compose or their respective Makefiles. Using the Makefiles you don't even need to change the structure of the project for a simple client\api service, just want a Client? you can simply use the Client directory on it's own, want an API with a database but no client? delete the client directory! want to add your own database? remove the DB step! don't want the API gateway? simply remove the infrastructure! customise it to suite your needs.

Ease of Use

You can pull this template, run make, and have a dev environment ready to play with.

Testing Ready

All the pain of setting up RTL with Vitest is done. In future versions we will also have tests for the API ready to go. There are also some eslint rules tailored to preferences used at a professional organisation.

Fun!

You can learn to set up more advanced docker-compose files by simply studying the layout of this project. In the future we may decide to orchestrate these containers with Kubernetes or Docker Swarm. We would also like to get some automated CIs running.

Usage

  • To run this project for development with the gateway run: make all
  • To run this project for development without the gateway run: make dev
  • To run this project for production run: make all but remove the EXPOSED ports in the service containers

Ports

The ports are exposed for development on 3000 and 8081. These ports should not be exposed on production, instead you should allow the gateway to forward traffic in the network. The reason for this is that the direct access to the application is faster for development.

  • Client: 8080 || 3000
  • API: 8080/api/ || 8081

When heading into production traffic to the API can be restricted by uncommenting this line in the default.conf:

# allow nginx-gateway;
# deny all;

This will deny direct traffic to the API such that the API will only be accessible via the nginx-gateway, this tends to be safer and more secure, thus, all of your API requests should be built to access via the nginx-gateway if you intend on using it, the open port is meant for testing locally only.
