Nginx Passthrough/Proxy Example

To expose your Epicbox Docker service securely on your own domain, use a simple nginx reverse proxy. This allows you to use SSL and a custom domain name.

1. Start Epicbox Docker with Custom Domain

EPICBOX_DOMAIN=your-epicbox-domain.example docker compose up -d --build

2. Example nginx Reverse Proxy Configuration

Place this in your nginx config (e.g., /etc/nginx/sites-available/epicbox.conf):

upstream epicbox_backend {
  ip_hash;
  server 127.0.0.1:8888 max_fails=3 fail_timeout=10s;
  server 127.0.0.1:8889 max_fails=3 fail_timeout=10s;
}
server {
	server_name your-epicbox-domain.example www.your-epicbox-domain.example;

	root /var/www/html/epicbox/;
	index index.html index.htm;

	location / {
		proxy_set_header        Host $host;
		proxy_set_header        X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
		proxy_set_header        X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
		proxy_set_header        X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;

		proxy_pass http://epicbox_backend;
		proxy_read_timeout  90;

		# WebSocket support
		proxy_http_version 1.1;
		proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
		proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
	}

	access_log /var/log/nginx/epicbox.access.log;
	error_log /var/log/nginx/epicbox.error.log;

	listen 443 ssl;
	ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/your-epicbox-domain.example/fullchain.pem;
	ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/your-epicbox-domain.example/privkey.pem;
	include /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-nginx.conf;
	ssl_dhparam /etc/letsencrypt/ssl-dhparams.pem;
}

• Replace your-epicbox-domain.example with your actual domain.
• Adjust SSL certificate paths as needed.

3. Reload nginx

sudo nginx -s reload

Now, your domain will securely proxy to your Epicbox Docker service!

epicboxnodejs

Epicbox Relay Server for Epic Cash, built with Node.js and Rust.

Docker Quick Start

1. Clone the repository and initialize submodules:

   git clone <repo-url>
   cd epicboxnodejs-source
   git submodule update --init --recursive

2. Build and start all services with Docker Compose:

   docker compose up -d --build

3. Custom configuration via environment variables: You can override key settings at runtime:

   EPICBOX_DOMAIN=my.domain.com docker compose up -d --build

   • EPICBOX_DOMAIN: Sets the domain for epicbox services (default: epicbox.your-domain.com)
   • EPICBOX_PORT: Sets the port for epicbox services (default: 443)
   • NGINX_PORT: Sets the external port for nginx (default: 8443)

4. Access the service:

   • Open http://localhost:8443 (or your chosen NGINX_PORT) in your browser.

5. Scaling and failover:

   • Two epicbox instances are started by default (epicbox1 and epicbox2).
   • nginx will automatically route requests to available instances.

Configuration Reference

All major settings can be configured via environment variables or a .env file:

EPICBOX_DOMAIN=my.domain.com
EPICBOX_PORT=443

Advanced

• MongoDB, nginx, and epicbox instances are all managed via docker-compose.yml.
• For custom setups, edit docker-compose.yml and default_config.json as needed.
