Installation

We provide the proxy in a few formats for usage:

• Raw Source (Go)
• Docker Image
• OS Packaged Binary

The raw source can be used if building a custom image is required, or if you need to build a custom binary for your environment that will use the exposed API to instantiate the proxy.

We recommend using the OS packaged version for easy future upgrades and management.

Deployment

Debian based

sudo dpkg -i devcycle-local-bucketing-proxy_*.deb
sudo apt-get install -f

RPM based

sudo rpm -i devcycle-local-bucketing-proxy_*.rpm

Configuration

A sample config.json file is included in the package and can be found at /etc/devcycle-local-bucketing-proxy/config.json.example. The most current version of the file can be found on our GitHub.

Alternatively - it can be configured via environment variables. The following environment variables are supported:

Environment Variables

DVC_LB_PROXY_SDKCONFIG_DISABLE_CUSTOM_EVENT_LOGGING	True or False	false	Whether to disable custom event logging. Defaults to false.
DVC_LB_PROXY_SDKCONFIG_MAX_EVENT_QUEUE_SIZE	Integer		The maximum number of events to be in the queue before dropping events.
DVC_LB_PROXY_SDKCONFIG_FLUSH_EVENT_QUEUE_SIZE	Integer		The minimum number of events to be in the queue before flushing events.
DVC_LB_PROXY_SDKCONFIG_CONFIG_CDN_URI	String		The URI of the Config CDN - leave unspecified if not needing an outbound proxy.
DVC_LB_PROXY_SDKCONFIG_EVENTSAPIURI	String		The URI of the Events API - leave unspecified if not needing an outbound proxy.

Post-Installation

If you have installed an OS packaged version of the proxy - the binary will be installed to /usr/bin/devcycle-local-bucketing-proxy.

You will need to configure a separate supervisor/orchestrator such as systemd or upstart if no you need to create a long-lived process.

We recommend keeping the logging output of the proxy available as it streams to stdout and stderr by default. To enable debug http logging, set the GIN_MODE environment variable to debug.
