Setup reverse proxy Sphinx docs
*******************************
This example will walk you through creating a Sphinx documentation, which is started
automatically on ``docker-compose up``, will be proxied to the web server and can be reached via valid HTTPS.
.. note::
It is also possible to attach a leight-weight Python container to the Devilbox instead of running
this in the PHP container. See here for details: :ref:`reverse_proxy_with_custom_docker`
**Table of Contents**
.. contents:: :local:
Overview
========
The following configuration will be used:
+--------------+--------------------------+-------------+------------+-------------------------------------------------+
| Project name | VirtualHost directory | Database | TLD_SUFFIX | Project URL |
+==============+==========================+=============+============+=================================================+
| my-sphinx | /shared/httpd/my-sphinx | - | loc | http://my-sphinx.loc |br| https://my-sphinx.loc |
+--------------+--------------------------+-------------+------------+-------------------------------------------------+
Additionally we will set the listening port of the Sphinx appliation to ``4000`` inside the PHP container.
We also want Sphinx running and autostarted only in the PHP 7.2 container (local autostart) and
have all its required Python packages installed during ``docker-compose up``.
.. note::
* Inside the Devilbox PHP container, projects are always in ``/shared/httpd/``.
* On your host operating system, projects are by default in ``./data/www/`` inside the
Devilbox git directory. This path can be changed via :ref:`env_httpd_datadir`.
Walk through
============
It will be ready in nine simple steps:
1. Enter the PHP container
2. Create a new VirtualHost directory
3. Create basic Sphinx project
4. Create *virtual* docroot directory
5. Add reverse proxy vhost-gen config files
6. Create autostart script
7. Setup DNS record
8. Restart the Devilbox
9. Visit http://my-sphinx.loc in your browser
1. Enter the PHP container
--------------------------
All work will be done inside the PHP container as it provides you with all required command line
tools.
Navigate to the Devilbox git directory and execute ``shell.sh`` (or ``shell.bat`` on Windows) to
enter the running PHP container.
.. code-block:: bash
host> ./shell.sh
.. seealso::
* :ref:`enter_the_php_container`
* :ref:`work_inside_the_php_container`
* :ref:`available_tools`
2. Create new vhost directory
-----------------------------
The vhost directory defines the name under which your project will be available. |br|
( ``<vhost dir>.TLD_SUFFIX`` will be the final URL ).
.. code-block:: bash
devilbox@php-7.0.20 in /shared/httpd $ mkdir my-sphinx
.. seealso:: :ref:`env_tld_suffix`
3. Create basic Sphinx project
------------------------------
.. code-block:: bash
# Navigate to your project directory
devilbox@php-7.0.20 in /shared/httpd $ cd my-sphinx
# Create a directory which will hold the documentation source code
devilbox@php-7.0.20 in /shared/httpd/my-sphinx $ mkdir doc
Create a basic Sphinx configuration file:
.. code-block:: python
:caption: /shared/httpd/my-sphinx/doc/conf.py
source_suffix = '.rst'
master_doc = 'index'
html_theme = 'default'
exclude_patterns = [
u'_build/*'
]
Create the table of contents file:
.. code-block:: rst
:caption: /shared/httpd/my-sphinx/doc/index.rst
.. :hidden:
*******
My Docs
*******
Description
.. toctree::
:maxdepth: 2
page1
Create the first page ``page1``:
.. code-block:: rst
:caption: /shared/httpd/my-sphinx/doc/page1.rst
******
Page 1
******
Hello world
4. Create *virtual* docroot directory
-------------------------------------
Every project for the Devilbox requires a ``htdocs`` directory present inside the project dir.
For a reverse proxy this is not of any use, but rather only for the Intranet vhost page to stop
complaining about the missing ``htdocs`` directory. So that's why this is only a *virtual* directory
which will not hold any data.
.. code-block:: bash
# Navigate to your project directory
devilbox@php-7.0.20 in /shared/httpd $ cd my-sphinx
# Create the docroot directory
devilbox@php-7.0.20 in /shared/httpd/my-sphinx $ mkdir htdocs
.. seealso:: :ref:`env_httpd_docroot_dir`
5. Add reverse proxy vhost-gen config files
-------------------------------------------
5.1 Create vhost-gen template directory
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Before we can copy the vhost-gen templates, we must create the ``.devilbox`` template directory
inside the project directory.
.. code-block:: bash
# Navigate to your project directory
devilbox@php-7.0.20 in /shared/httpd $ cd my-sphinx
# Create the .devilbox template directory
devilbox@php-7.0.20 in /shared/httpd/my-sphinx $ mkdir .devilbox
.. seealso:: :ref:`env_httpd_template_dir`
5.2 Copy vhost-gen templates
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Now we can copy and adjust the vhost-gen reverse proxy files for Apache 2.2, Apache 2.4 and Nginx.
The reverse vhost-gen templates are available in ``cfg/vhost-gen``:
.. code-block:: bash
:emphasize-lines: 4,6,8
host> tree -L 1 cfg/vhost-gen/
cfg/vhost-gen/
├── apache22.yml-example-rproxy
├── apache22.yml-example-vhost
├── apache24.yml-example-rproxy
├── apache24.yml-example-vhost
├── nginx.yml-example-rproxy
├── nginx.yml-example-vhost
└── README.md
0 directories, 7 files
For this example we will copy all ``*-example-rproxy`` files into ``/shared/httpd/my-sphinx/.devilbox``
to ensure this will work with all web servers.
.. code-block:: bash
host> cd /path/to/devilbox
host> cp cfg/vhost-gen/apache22.yml-example-rproxy data/www/my-sphinx/.devilbox/apache22.yml
host> cp cfg/vhost-gen/apache24.yml-example-rproxy data/www/my-sphinx/.devilbox/apache24.yml
host> cp cfg/vhost-gen/nginx.yml-example-rproxy data/www/my-sphinx/.devilbox/nginx.yml
5.3 Adjust ports
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
By default, all vhost-gen templates will forward requests to port ``8000`` into the PHP container.
Our current example however uses port ``4000``, so we must change that accordingly for all three
templates.
5.3.1 Adjust Apache 2.2 template
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
Open the ``apache22.yml`` vhost-gen template in your project:
.. code-block:: bash
host> cd /path/to/devilbox
host> vi data/www/my-sphinx/.devilbox/apache22.yml
Find the two lines with ``ProxyPass`` and ``ProxyPassReverse`` and change the port from ``8000``
to ``4000``
.. code-block:: yaml
:caption: data/www/my-sphinx/.devilbox/apache22.yml
:emphasize-lines: 16,17
# ... more lines above ... #
###
### Basic vHost skeleton
###
vhost: |
<VirtualHost __DEFAULT_VHOST__:__PORT__>
ServerName __VHOST_NAME__
CustomLog "__ACCESS_LOG__" combined
ErrorLog "__ERROR_LOG__"
# Reverse Proxy definition (Ensure to adjust the port, currently '8000')
ProxyRequests On
ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyPass / http://php:4000/
ProxyPassReverse / http://php:4000/
# ... more lines below ... #
5.3.2 Adjust Apache 2.4 template
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
Open the ``apache24.yml`` vhost-gen template in your project:
.. code-block:: bash
host> cd /path/to/devilbox
host> vi data/www/my-sphinx/.devilbox/apache24.yml
Find the two lines with ``ProxyPass`` and ``ProxyPassReverse`` and change the port from ``8000``
to ``4000``
.. code-block:: yaml
:caption: data/www/my-sphinx/.devilbox/apache24.yml
:emphasize-lines: 16,17
# ... more lines above ... #
###
### Basic vHost skeleton
###
vhost: |

ErrorLog "__ERROR_LOG__"
# Reverse Proxy definition (Ensure to adjust the port, currently '8000')
ProxyRequests On
ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyPass / http://php:4000/
ProxyPassReverse / http://php:4000/
# ... more lines below ... #
5.3.3 Adjust Nginx template
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""
Open the ``nginx.yml`` vhost-gen template in your project:
.. code-block:: bash
host> cd /path/to/devilbox
host> vi data/www/my-sphinx/.devilbox/nginx.yml
Find the lines with ``proxy_pass`` and change the port from ``8000`` to ``4000``
.. code-block:: yaml
:caption: data/www/my-sphinx/.devilbox/nginx.yml
:emphasize-lines: 18
# ... more lines above ... #
###
### Basic vHost skeleton
###
vhost: |
server {
listen __PORT____DEFAULT_VHOST__;
server_name __VHOST_NAME__;
access_log "__ACCESS_LOG__" combined;
error_log "__ERROR_LOG__" warn;
# Reverse Proxy definition (Ensure to adjust the port, currently '8000')
location / {
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_pass http://php:4000;
}
# ... more lines below ... #
6. Create autostart script
--------------------------
Remember, we only wanted to have our Sphinx application run on the PHP 7.2 container, so we will create
a autostart script only for that container.
Navigate to ``cfg/php-startup-7.2/`` in the Devilbox git directory and create a new shell script
ending by ``.sh``
.. code-block:: bash
# Navigate to the Devilbox git directory
host> cd /path/to/devilbox
# Nagivate to startup directory for PHP 7.2 and create the script
host> cd cfg/php-startup-7.2/
host> vi my-sphinx.sh
.. code-block:: bash
:caption: cfg/php-startup-7.2/my-sphinx.sh
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# Install required Python modules as root user
pip install sphinx sphinx-autobuild
# Autostart Sphinx by devilbox user on Port 4000 and sent it to backgroun with '&'
sh -c "cd /shared/httpd/my-sphinx; sphinx-autobuild . _build/html -p 4000 -H 0.0.0.0" -l devilbox &
.. seealso::
* :ref:`custom_scripts_per_php_version` (individually for different PHP versions)
* :ref:`custom_scripts_globally` (equal for all PHP versions)
* :ref:`autostarting_nodejs_apps`
7. DNS record
-------------
If you **have** Auto DNS configured already, you can skip this section, because DNS entries will
be available automatically by the bundled DNS server.
If you **don't have** Auto DNS configured, you will need to add the following line to your
host operating systems ``/etc/hosts`` file (or ``C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc`` on Windows):
.. code-block:: bash
:caption: /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 my-node.loc
.. seealso::
* :ref:`howto_add_project_hosts_entry_on_mac`
* :ref:`howto_add_project_hosts_entry_on_win`
* :ref:`setup_auto_dns`
8. Restart the Devilbox
-----------------------
Now for those changes to take affect, you will have to restart the Devilbox.
.. code-block:: bash
host> cd /path/to/devilbox
# Stop the Devilbox
host> docker-compose down
host> docker-compose rm -f
# Start the Devilbox
host> docker-compose up -d php httpd bind
9. Open your browser
--------------------
All set now, you can visit http://my-sphinx.loc or https://my-sphinx.loc in your browser.
The Sphinx application has been started up automatically and the reverse proxy will direct all
requests to it.
