Domain with proxy

When using a domain with a proxy, LocalCan will handle the HTTPS termination and forward requests to the specified IP or hostname, even if it's on a different port. This option provides flexibility in managing your local network connections.

To set up a domain with a proxy:

1. Launch the LocalCan app and click Add domain button in the sidebar.
2. Select “Domain with proxy” and click Continue.
3. Configure the proxy settings by specifying the target IP or hostname and the port number.
4. Click Add domain.
5. If you’ve selected https, make sure to trust the Root CA, to avoid “This connection is not private” message.

Configure with YAML

The same setup as a project file:

services:
  web:
    target: http://localhost:3000
    endpoints:
      - url: my-app.local
        scheme: https

Run localcan reload after dropping the file into ~/.localcan/projects/. See Configuration → Projects.
