Create external application via a config file

[tiptap]

Hey

I'm managing an OLS server via runcloud and they have turned off the WebAdmin annoyingly!

I'd like to add an external application however I can't find anywhere in the documentation on how to do that with a config file.

the virtual host part is all setup and working.

Thanks

Hi,
Although you can not use web admin more, you can change the config from the runcloud panel. May I know what application you want to add? And do you want to add on the virtual host level?

I noticed in RC that they allow the editing of the config.... just couldnt find any documentation regarding adding to config directly.

What I want to do is proxypass a https://api.mydomain.com/ to 127.0.0.1:8055

I set up the redirect correctly in the config;

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://127.0.0.1:8055/$1 [P,L]

However i get a 500 error with the log reporting the following;

[REWRITE] Proxy target is not defined on external application list, please add a 'web server' with name '127.0.0.1:8055'

All documentation I'm reading on adding a proxy target to an external application relates only to the webadmin, but possibly im looking in the wrong place

Do you want to setup a reverse proxy like
https://openlitespeed.org/kb/reverse-proxy-basics/
with Rewrite Rules? https://openlitespeed.org/kb/reverse-proxy-basics/
But you aren't sure how to setup the External Application through the config file?
I'd suggest you launch any OpenLiteSpeed web server which has Web Admin allowed, and setup the External Application you need through the panel, and copy the config file you need to the runcloud.

Hello,

That's what I'm trying to do also.

Luckily I have the web admin so I'll post an example config for you once working

Try the following in the vhosts config:

extprocessor api {
  type                    proxy
  address                 127.0.0.1:8055
  maxConns                300
  initTimeout             60
  retryTimeout            60
  respBuffer              1
}

context / {
  type                    proxy
  handler                 api
  addDefaultCharset       off
}

Great! I'll try that out
