| 2 | + |
| 3 | +Vex is a reverse HTTP proxy tunnel via secure SSH connections. It is compatible with `ssh` client. |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +### Establish tunnel via running vex server on bleenco.space |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +Let's say you are running HTTP server locally on port 6500, then command would be: |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +```sh |
| 10 | +ssh -R 10100:localhost:6500 bleenco.space -p 2200 |
| 11 | +``` |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +where 10100 is randomly picked port to bind SSH listener on server to establish tunnels. You should pick that random and don't use 10100 if not free. |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +2200 is port where vex daemon (server) is running and localhost:6500 is local HTTP server. |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +Example output: |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +```sh |
| 20 | +$ ssh -R 10500:localhost:6500 bleenco.space -p 2200 |
| 21 | +[vexd] Generated URL: http://23c41c01.bleenco.space |
| 22 | +``` |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +Then open generated URL in the browser to check if works, then share the URL if needed. |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +### Run cross-compilation build |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +```sh |
| 29 | +make clean && make build |
| 30 | +``` |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +### Running server |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +```sh |
| 35 | +./build/vex-server-linux_amd64 --help |
| 36 | +``` |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +``` |
| 39 | +Usage: vexd [options] |
| 40 | +
|
| 41 | +Options: |
| 42 | +
|
| 43 | +-d, Domain name that HTTP server is hosted on. It is |
| 44 | +used for generating subdomain IDs (defaults to the |
| 45 | +environment variable VEX_DOMAIN and falls back to local.net) |
| 46 | +
|
| 47 | +-k, Path to file of a ECDSA private key. All SSH communication |
| 48 | +will be secured using this key (defaults to the VEX_KEY environment |
| 49 | +variable falls back to id_rsa) |
| 50 | +
|
| 51 | +-s, SSH server listen address (defaults to VEX_SSH_SERVER and |
| 52 | +falls back to 0.0.0.0:2200) |
| 53 | +
|
| 54 | +-http, HTTP server listen address (defaults to VEX_HTTP_SERVER and |
| 55 | +falls back to 0.0.0.0:2000) |
