## How it works
1. Accepts plain HTTP requests inside the Docker network.
2. Forwards requests to an HTTPS upstream.
3. Presents a client certificate/key pair for mTLS authentication.
2. Forwards requests to an upstream base URL.
3. Preserves the incoming request path/method/body/query string.
4. Presents a client certificate/key pair for mTLS authentication.
## Environment variables
- `TARGET_URL` (required): HTTPS upstream base URL.
- `TARGET_URL` (required): upstream base URL (for example `http://node-red:1880`).
- `CLIENT_CERT` (default `/certs/client.crt`): client certificate path.
- `CLIENT_KEY` (default `/certs/client.key`): client private key path.
- `CA_CERT` (default `/certs/ca.crt`): CA certificate bundle used to verify upstream TLS.
- `UPSTREAM_CA_CERT` (optional, alias: `CA_CERT`): CA bundle path to verify upstream TLS. Use `false`/`0`/`no` to disable verification.
- `TIMEOUT` (default `5`): request timeout in seconds.
- `LOG_LEVEL` (default `INFO`): Python logging level.
- `HEALTH_ENDPOINT` (default `/_mtls_bridge/health`): local container health endpoint path.
- `ALLOWED_PATHS_FILE` (optional): file path containing one allowed endpoint path per line (for example `/health`). Blank lines and `#` comments are ignored. If unset, all paths are allowed.
- `MTLS_BRIDGE_BASIC_AUTH_USERS` (required for Traefik auth): value for `traefik.http.middlewares.*.basicauth.users` (e.g. `user:$$apr1$$...`).
- `MTLS_BRIDGE_CORS_ALLOW_ORIGIN` (default `https://grafana.lan.ddnsgeek.com`): origin allowed for browser-based panel actions.
## Endpoints
- `GET /health` returns `200 OK` for container health checks.
- `/*` proxies requests to `${TARGET_URL}` with method/body/headers preserved.
- `GET /_mtls_bridge/health` returns `200 OK` for container health checks.
- `/*` proxies requests to `${TARGET_URL}/*` with method/body/headers/query string preserved (subject to optional allow-list checks).
Examples with `TARGET_URL=http://node-red:1880`:
- `https://mtls-bridge.../docker-update-lockouts/clear` -> `http://node-red:1880/docker-update-lockouts/clear`
- `https://mtls-bridge.../health` -> `http://node-red:1880/health`
- `https://mtls-bridge.../uptime-kuma` -> `http://node-red:1880/uptime-kuma`
## Compose integration

## Example test
```bash
curl http://mtls-bridge:8080/health
curl -X POST http://mtls-bridge:8080
curl http://mtls-bridge:8080/_mtls_bridge/health
curl -X POST http://mtls-bridge:8080/docker-update-lockouts/clear
```
## Allow-list file example
```text
# one path per line
/docker-update-lockouts/clear
/health
/uptime-kuma
```
When `ALLOWED_PATHS_FILE` is set, any path not listed returns `403 Endpoint not allowed`.
