Concept Overview

Overview

The Uniport-Gateway build on top of the concepts of entrypoints, routers, middlewares, services and providers:

  • An entrypoint configures the port it is listening on
  • A router configures a rule to route requests, e.g. based on the request's host or path
  • A router may have middlewares to manipulate a request
  • A router passes the request to a service that forward the request to the destination server
  • A provider reads configuration, e.g. from a file, and provisions the router, middlewares and services accordingly.
