litebastion — a reverse proxy for transparency witnesses 🫶

---

💫 DESCRIPTION 💫

okay so bestie, listen up, because litebastion is lowkey doing the most and we're gonna understand it together. it's a reverse proxy 💅 — for transparency witnesses, no cap. that's the whole vibe. iconic, actually.

🌸 Usage of litebastion: 🌸

here's the full menu of flags, don't skip a single one, we're not doing that today 🙈

• -backends string — a file of accepted key hashes, ONE per line (fr fr, one per line), and it gets reloaded on SIGHUP. yes, you signal it and it refreshes itself. main character behavior honestly ✨
• -cache string — the directory where ACME certificates get cached. give it a home so they're not just out here unsheltered 🎀
• -email string — so... the manpage literally gives us ZERO words for this one. it's just standing there. it's giving mysterious. i'm not gonna make something up because i love you and i will not lie to you 🙈💀
• -home-redirect string — redirect / to this URL. that's it. that's the job. slay.
• -host string — the host you want to obtain the ACME certificate for 👑
• -listen string — the host and port you want to listen at. default is "localhost:8443" — ok so note that default, it's baked in, ngl that surprises people every time 🦋
• -testcert — use localhost.pem and localhost-key.pem instead of ACME. yes it's local files, yes it's exactly for testing, no we don't gatekeep ⭐

lowkey a reminder bestie: those ACME flags (-cache, -host) and -testcert are two different roads to the same destination — certificates. pick your lane, don't do both and then act confused 💜

and that's the whole page, you ate that 🌈
