Context/path based routing

Estimated reading time: 1 minute

In this example we will publish a service using context or path based routing.

First we will create an overlay network so that service traffic is isolated and secure:

$> docker network create -d overlay demo
1se1glh749q1i4pw0kf26mfx5

Next we will create the initial service:

$> docker service create \
    --name demo \
    --network demo \
    --detach=false \
    --label com.docker.lb.hosts=demo.local \
    --label com.docker.lb.port=8080 \
    --label com.docker.lb.context_root=/app \
    --label com.docker.lb.context_root_rewrite=true \
    --env METADATA="demo-context-root" \
    ehazlett/docker-demo

Only one path per host

Interlock supports only one path per host per service cluster. Once a particular com.docker.lb.hosts label has been applied, it cannot be applied again in the same service cluster.

Interlock will detect once the service is available and publish it. Once the tasks are running and the proxy service has been updated the application should be available via http://demo.local:

$> curl -vs -H "Host: demo.local" http://127.0.0.1/app/
*   Trying 127.0.0.1...
* TCP_NODELAY set
* Connected to 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1) port 80 (#0)
> GET /app/ HTTP/1.1
> Host: demo.local
> User-Agent: curl/7.54.0
> Accept: */*
