## Quick Start
|
|
20
|
+
|
|
21
|
+
```bash
|
|
22
|
+
# Install
|
|
23
|
+
npm install -g peakroute
|
|
24
|
+
|
|
25
|
+
# Start the proxy (once, no sudo needed)
|
|
26
|
+
peakroute proxy start
|
|
27
|
+
|
|
28
|
+
# Run your app (auto-starts the proxy if needed)
|
|
29
|
+
peakroute myapp next dev
|
|
30
|
+
# -> http://myapp.localhost:1355
|
|
31
|
+
```
|
|
32
|
+
|
|
33
|
+
> The proxy auto-starts when you run an app. You can also start it explicitly with `peakroute proxy start`.
|
|
34
|
+
|
|
35
|
+
## Why
|
|
36
|
+
|
|
37
|
+
Local dev with port numbers is fragile:
|
|
38
|
+
|
|
39
|
+
- **Port conflicts** -- two projects default to the same port and you get `EADDRINUSE`
|
|
40
|
+
- **Memorizing ports** -- was the API on 3001 or 8080?
|
|
41
|
+
- **Refreshing shows the wrong app** -- stop one server, start another on the same port, and your open tab now shows something completely different
|
|
42
|
+
- **Monorepo multiplier** -- every problem above scales with each service in the repo
|
|
43
|
+
- **Agents test the wrong port** -- AI coding agents guess or hardcode the wrong port, especially in monorepos
|
|
44
|
+
- **Cookie and storage clashes** -- cookies set on `localhost` bleed across apps on different ports; localStorage is lost when ports shift
|
|
45
|
+
- **Hardcoded ports in config** -- CORS allowlists, OAuth redirect URIs, and `.env` files all break when ports change
|
|
46
|
+
- **Sharing URLs with teammates** -- "what port is that on?" becomes a Slack question
|
|
47
|
+
- **Browser history is useless** -- your history for `localhost:3000` is a jumble of unrelated projects
|
|
48
|
+
|
|
49
|
+
Peakroute fixes all of this by giving each dev server a stable, named `.localhost` URL that both humans and agents can rely on.
|
|
50
|
+
|
|
51
|
+
## Usage
|
|
52
|
+
|
|
53
|
+
```bash
|
|
54
|
+
# Basic
|
|
55
|
+
peakroute myapp next dev
|
|
56
|
+
# -> http://myapp.localhost:1355
|
|
57
|
+
|
|
58
|
+
# Subdomains
|
|
59
|
+
peakroute api.myapp npm start
|
|
60
|
+
# -> http://api.myapp.localhost:1355
|
|
61
|
+
|
|
62
|
+
peakroute docs.myapp next dev
|
|
63
|
+
# -> http://docs.myapp.localhost:1355
|
|
64
|
+
```
|
|
65
|
+
|
|
66
|
+
### In package.json
|
|
67
|
+
|
|
68
|
+
```json
|
|
69
|
+
{
|
|
70
|
+
"scripts": {
|
|
71
|
+
"dev": "peakroute myapp next dev"
|
|
72
|
+
}
|
|
73
|
+
}
|
|
74
|
+
```
|
|
75
|
+
|
|
76
|
+
The proxy auto-starts when you run an app. Or start it explicitly: `peakroute proxy start`.
|
|
77
|
+
|
|

|
+

|
|
88
|
+
Proxy --> App1
|
|
89
|
+
Proxy --> App2
|
|
90
|
+
```
|
|
91
|
+
|
|
92
|
+
1. **Start the proxy** -- auto-starts when you run an app, or start explicitly with `peakroute proxy start`
|
|
93
|
+
2. **Run apps** -- `peakroute <name> <command>` assigns a free port and registers with the proxy
|
|
94
|
+
3. **Access via URL** -- `http://<name>.localhost:1355` routes through the proxy to your app
|
|
95
|
+
|
|
96
|
+
Apps are assigned a random port (4000-4999) via the `PORT` and `HOST` environment variables. Most frameworks (Next.js, Express, Nuxt, etc.) respect these automatically. For frameworks that ignore `PORT` (Vite, Astro, React Router, Angular), peakroute auto-injects the correct `--port` and `--host` flags.
|
|
97
|
+
|
|
98
|
+
## HTTP/2 + HTTPS
|
|
99
|
+
|
|
100
|
+
Enable HTTP/2 for faster dev server page loads. Browsers limit HTTP/1.1 to 6 connections per host, which bottlenecks dev servers that serve many unbundled files (Vite, Nuxt, etc.). HTTP/2 multiplexes all requests over a single connection.
|
|
101
|
+
|
|
102
|
+
```bash
|
|
103
|
+
# Start with HTTPS/2 -- generates certs and trusts them automatically
|
|
104
|
+
peakroute proxy start --https
|
|
105
|
+
|
|
106
|
+
# First run prompts for sudo once to add the CA to your system trust store.
|
|
107
|
+
# After that, no prompts. No browser warnings.
|
|
108
|
+
|
|
109
|
+
# Make it permanent (add to .bashrc / .zshrc)
|
|
110
|
+
export PEAKROUTE_HTTPS=1
|
|
111
|
+
peakroute proxy start # HTTPS by default now
|
|
112
|
+
|
|
113
|
+
# Use your own certs (e.g., from mkcert)
|
|
114
|
+
peakroute proxy start --cert ./cert.pem --key ./key.pem
|
|
115
|
+
|
|
116
|
+
# If you skipped sudo on first run, trust the CA later
|
|
117
|
+
sudo peakroute trust
|
|
118
|
+
```
|
|
119
|
+
|
|
120
|
+

## State Directory
|
|
159
|
+
|
|
160
|
+
Peakroute stores its state (routes, PID file, port file) in a directory that depends on the proxy port:
|
|
161
|
+
|
|
162
|
+
- **Port < 1024** (sudo required): `/tmp/peakroute` -- shared between root and user processes
|
|
163
|
+
- **Port >= 1024** (no sudo): `~/.peakroute` -- user-scoped, no root involvement
|
|
164
|
+
|
|
165
|
+
Override with the `PEAKROUTE_STATE_DIR` environment variable if needed.
|
|
166
|
+
|
|
167
|
+
## Development
|
|
168
|
+
|
|
169
|
+
This repo is a Bun workspace monorepo using [Turborepo](https://turbo.build). The publishable package lives in `packages/peakroute/`.
|
|
170
|
+
|
|
171
|
+
```bash
|
|
172
|
+
bun install # Install all dependencies
|
|
173
|
+
bun run build # Build all packages
|
|
174
|
+
bun run test # Run tests
|
|
175
|
+
bun run test:coverage # Run tests with coverage
|
|
176
|
+
bun run test:watch # Run tests in watch mode
|
|
177
|
+
bun run lint # Lint all packages
|
|
178
|
+
bun run typecheck # Type-check all packages
|
|
179
|
+
bun run format # Format all files with Prettier
|

## Proxying Between Peakroute Apps
|
|
183
|
+
|
|
184
|
+
If your frontend dev server (e.g. Vite, webpack) proxies API requests to another peakroute app, make sure the proxy rewrites the `Host` header. Without this, the proxy sends the **original** Host header, causing peakroute to route the request back to the frontend in an infinite loop.
|
|
185
|
+
|
|
186
|
+
**Vite** (`vite.config.ts`):
|
|
187
|
+
|
|
188
|
+
```ts
|
|
189
|
+
server: {
|
|
190
|
+
proxy: {
|
|
191
|
+
"/api": {
|
|
192
|
+
target: "http://api.myapp.localhost:1355",
|
|
193
|
+
changeOrigin: true, // Required: rewrites Host header to match target
|
|
194
|
+
ws: true,
|
|
195
|
+
},
|
|
196
|
+
},
|
|
197
|
+
}
|
|
198
|
+
```
|
|
199
|
+
|
|
200
|
+
**webpack-dev-server** (`webpack.config.js`):
|
|
201
|
+
|
|
202
|
+
```js
|
|
203
|
+
devServer: {
|
|
204
|
+
proxy: [{
|
|
205
|
+
context: ["/api"],
|
|
206
|
+
target: "http://api.myapp.localhost:1355",
|
|
207
|
+
changeOrigin: true, // Required: rewrites Host header to match target
|
|
208
|
+
}],
|
|
209
|
+
}
|
|
210
|
+
```
|
|
211
|
+
|
|
212
|
+
Peakroute detects this misconfiguration and responds with `508 Loop Detected` along with a message pointing to this fix.
