Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

ProxyBouncer

Kenneth Falck [email protected] 2014

Overview

ProxyBouncer is an authenticating HTTP proxy that requires users to log in with their Google accounts before passing them through to the upstream server.

Usage

npm install -g proxybouncer
proxybouncer

Environment variables

ProxyBouncer is configured using environment variables.

PROXY_TARGET needs to to point to the upstream website where requests will be proxied to.

ALLOWED_EMAILS defines a regexp of who is allowed to access the service.

COOKIE_SECRET is a unique secret which is used to sign and validate session cookies.

GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID and GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET are the OAuth2 identifiers that you can get from Google.

MY_URL is where ProxyBouncer is running. The OAuth2 callback URL is configured as "MY_URL/$proxybouncer/oauth2callback". You need to configure it properly in Google Developer Console when creating the client ID and client secret.

PORT=8080
MY_URL=http://localhost:8080
PROXY_TARGET=http://localhost:9000
GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID=(get from google developer console)
GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET=(get from google developer console)
ALLOWED_EMAILS=.*@example.org$
COOKIE_SECRET=1234abcd

Note that you can create a file called .env in the current directory with environment variables as key=value pairs. ProxyBouncer will automatically read them and include them in the environment setup.
