Proxy single file

[blackliner]

I would like to do something similar to get.docker.com, serve a static file that can be curl'd into bash to bootstrap some stuff. Is this possible with maybe custom nginx configs?

Preferably I would like to just forward this subdomain to a github raw file like this one:
https://github.com/blackliner/raspi_monitor/blob/main/install.sh

Hi,
I'm not working on this project but I might have a solution for you. Under Proxy Hosts -> Custom locations you can redirect a specific subfolder to another resource, eg. https://example.com/subfolder -> https://github.com/someblob
You can also set / to be the subfolder if you want to redirect example.com to the github blob.

Please let me know if this helped you 😉

Cool, it works for the page: setup.lauraundflorian.de

But I cant get the raw version to work, but might be a github issue

It seems to me like you are using a redirect host instead of a proxy host. Curl will (by default) not follow redirects. You can however tell curl to follow such redirects using curl -L example.com. If you use proxy hosts, you are not redirecting your http/s traffic, so it should work.
Keep in mind that you have to proxy your incoming http traffic to the raw github file! If you force SSL redirection on your host, you once again have to tell curl to use the -L flag!

Edit:
It does indeed not work out of the box by setting the location, but I have a have a configuration example for you.

• Add a new proxy host
• Set schema to http
• Give it some host and port (the acutally do not matter if you rewrite / location)
• In the advanced tab, add the following custom nginx config:

    location / {
        proxy_pass https://raw.githubusercontent.com/blackliner/raspi_monitor/main/install.sh;
        proxy_redirect off;
        add_header Content-Type text/plain;
    }
