HTTP Auto Package

The http-auto package is a part of the Taubyte project, designed to facilitate automatic HTTP service management with features such as domain validation, TLS support, and caching.

Features

• Automatic Domain Validation: Validates service or alias domains using TLS client hello information.
• TLS Support: Integrates with ACME for certificate management.
• Caching: Implements positive and negative caching for domain validation results.

Using a Custom ACME Server (StepCA)

Install StepCA

If you already have StepCA installed, skip this step. Otherwise, follow this simple guide to run a local instance for testing.

1. Pull the StepCA Docker image:

   docker pull smallstep/step-ca
   

2. Run the StepCA container:

   docker run -d --name step-ca \
     -v step:/home/step \
     -p 9000:9000 \
     -e DOCKER_STEPCA_INIT_NAME=StepCA \
     -e DOCKER_STEPCA_INIT_DNS_NAMES=localhost \
     smallstep/step-ca
   

3. Ensure it's running:

   curl http://localhost:9000/health
   

4. Connect to the container:

   docker exec -it step-ca sh
   

5. Add an ACME provider:

   step ca provisioner add acme --type ACME
   

6. Restart the container:

   docker restart step-ca
   

Configure Tau

Edit the configuration file for your setup and add the following:

domains:
    acme:
        url: https://localhost:9000/acme/acme/directory
        ca:
            skip: true

If you want to add a RootCA, use:

domains:
    acme:
        url: https://localhost:9000/acme/acme/directory
        ca:
            root-ca: "/path/to/root/ca/file"
            caa-record: "myca.org"
