PowProxy

Note: Pow 0.4.0 has built in proxying. You probably don't need this anymore.

Introduction

PowProxy is a simple rack-based proxy that allows you to run your non-ruby apps (like node, etc.) through Pow.

PowProxy is based on a blog post by Assaf Arkin. It's super easy to use. You really should just read Assaf's blog post to get the full explanation.

gem install pow_proxy

Create a config.ru file in your project's root with the following:

require 'pow_proxy'
run PowProxy.new

By default, it assumes the host to be localhost and the port to be 3000 however you can configure that to be anything you'd like:

require 'pow_proxy'
run PowProxy.new(:host => '127.0.0.1', :port => 8080)

You can also set the host and port by exporting the POW_PROXY_HOST and POW_PROXY_PORT environment variables in your .powenv.

Make sure your app is running, symlink the app so that Pow knows about it and you'll be all set.
