go mod download

Testing / Debugging

For starting oauth2-proxy locally open the debugging tab and create the launch.json and select Go: Launch Package.

                "contrib/local-environment/oauth2-proxy.cfg"
            ]
        },
        {

            "type": "go",
            "request": "launch",
            "mode": "auto",
            "program": "${workspaceFolder}",
            "args": [
                "--config",
                // The following configuration contains settings for a locally deployed
                // upstream and keycloak as an idetity provider
                "contrib/local-environment/oauth2-proxy-keycloak.cfg"
            ]
        }
    ]
}

Before you can start your local version of oauth2-proxy, you will have to use the provided docker compose files to start a local upstream service and identity provider. We suggest using httpbin as your upstream for testing as it allows for request and response introspection of all things HTTP.

Inside the contrib/local-environment directory you can use the Makefile for starting different example setups:

  • Dex as your IdP: make up or make down
  • Dex as your IdP using the alpha-config: make alpha-config-up
  • Keycloak as your IdP: make keycloak-up
  • Dex as your IdP & nginx reverse proxy: make nginx-up
  • and many more...

Check out the Makefile to see what is available.

The username and password for all setups is usually admin@example.com and password.

The docker compose setups expose the services with a dynamic reverse DNS resolver: localtest.me
