Pointsman

Simple haproxy docker image redirecting HTTP => HTTPS behind an AWS ELB

Usage

docker run -p 8080:8080 -p 8081:8081 -e HEALTH_CHECK_URI=/check -e FRONTEND_PORT=8080 -e BACKEND_HOST=172.17.0.1 -e BACKEND_PORT=3000 --name pointsman airvantage/pointsman

Binds your ELB HTTP and HTTPS listeners on FRONTEND_PORT and your backend with BACKEND_HOST and BACKEND_PORT. We also open :8081 port for the ELB health check on URI HEALTH_CHECK_URI.
