Okay, so I’ve been messing around with this thing called Casket Sonar, and let me tell you, it’s been a bit of a journey. I wanted to get it up and running, so I figured I’d share my experience, bumps and all.
Getting Started
First things first, I needed to get my hands on Casket. I grabbed the latest release. It was pretty straightforward – just a simple download.
Then, I needed to create a configuration file. I named my file “Casketfile”. It is just like any other file you named it yourself.
The Configuration Struggle
This is where things got a little tricky. I copied some example configuration I found, and then I started tweaking it. My goal was to set up a simple reverse proxy. That is the most important step, I need to make the configuration correctly.
I spent a good chunk of time fiddling with the settings.I made sure the ports were correct, and specified the backend server I wanted to proxy to.
Running Casket
With my “Casketfile” ready, I opened up my terminal and typed casket run.
At first, nothing happened. Then I realized I had made a typo in the configuration. Classic me! After fixing that, I ran the command again.
This time, I saw some output in the terminal! Casket was starting * gave no error information!
Testing it Out
I opened up my browser and typed in the address I had configured. And…boom! It worked! I saw the content from my backend server, being served through Casket.I could see it. It shows the thing I want.
Final Thoughts
Getting Casket Sonar running wasn’t as smooth as I had hoped. There was definitely some trial and error involved, especially with the configuration.I do a lots of test, and fail many times. But, in the end, I managed to get it working, and that’s what matters. It’s a pretty cool tool once you get the hang of it. Now I use it!
