How to make use of http://{ip-address}:{port} instead of https://{project}.test?

[MagePsycho]

I have to use non-secure mode and IP for some of the use cases, for example: http://{ip-address} :{port}, for example: http://192.168.216.10:2112
How can I achieve this in Warden?
I tried changing the base URL and web/secure/use_in_frontend|adminhtml settings to 0 but no luck.
It always redirects to the https: version.

Is there a way to make this happen in warden?

@navarr I have a special requirement to setup Magento 2 using http://<someIP>:<somePort>
Do you have any idea on how to do it so?

You could use ngrok as a public proxy to your Warden environment.

@MagePsycho I was interested to see if I could make that work.

There are a few different things you may need to work across to not be redirected (browser, traefik, nginx, magento).

To disable the global Traefik global http -> https redirect you can edit ~/.warden/etc/traefik/traefik.yml and remove the entry point redirect (until #876 is fixed you will need to make this change in the warden install directory <WARDEN_INSTALL_DIR>/config/traefik/traefik.yml):

http:
      redirections:
        entryPoint:
          to: https
          scheme: https

You may also want to up the Traefik log level to debug in order to see requests coming into the Warden environment.

---
api:
  dashboard: true
providers:
  file:
    filename: /etc/traefik/dynamic.yml
  docker:
    network: warden
    defaultRule: "Host(`{{ .Name }}.warden.test`)"
    exposedByDefault: false
entryPoints:
  http:
    address: ":80"
  https:
    address: ":443"
log:
  level: DEBUG
global:
  checkNewVersion: false
  sendAnonymousUsage: false

warden svc restart is required to enable that.

Note as host matching is used by Traefik to route the request to the proper service I am unsure if there is an easy way to use IP address directly. If you are unable to use the dnsmasq service, a local hosts file entry would work as well.

Local Warden customization for the environment

In the project level customization file: <PROJECT_DIR>/.warden/warden-env.yml

After speaking with @MagePsycho I will clarify that the router name below must match your configured warden env name from your .env file. (WARDEN_ENV_NAME).

services:
  nginx:
    labels:
      traefik.http.routers.<YOUR-ENV-NAME>-nginx.tls: "false"

Magento application configuration

• I set varnish to 0 in the project .env and reinstalled Magento.
• I set both the secure and unsecure URLs to http: and the use_in_ settings to 0 and flushed cache.

Depending on your browser you may need to turn off always HTTPS or similar settings in order to visit an http resource without https upgrade.

@hardyjohnson In my case cat ~/.warden/etc/traefik/traefik.yml is not reset:

---
api:
  dashboard: true
providers:
  file:
    filename: /etc/traefik/dynamic.yml
  docker:
    network: warden
    defaultRule: "Host(`{{ .Name }}.warden.test`)"
    exposedByDefault: false
entryPoints:
  http:
    address: ":80"
#    http:
#      redirections:
#        entryPoint:
#          to: https
#          scheme: https
  https:
    address: ":443"
log:
  level: DEBUG
global:
  checkNewVersion: false
  sendAnonymousUsage: false

Any page with http:// results in 404.

How to debug the issue could be?

[MagePsycho]

@hardyjohnson What do you mean by this "Need to turn off TLS for the Traefik Nginx label."?

[hardyjohnson]

As per your comment, that is the bug #876, even if you modify the traefik.yml in your home warden directory it gets overwritten by the version in the warden install directory.

In order to solve the 404 issue I had to also turn off the Traefik setting which tries to make sure the router uses TLS by creating the following ./<PROJECT-DIR>/.warden/warden-env.yml:

services:
  nginx:
    labels:
      traefik.http.routers.warden-test-https-nginx.tls: "false"

How to debug the issue could be?

This is why changing the log level of Traefik is important because then you can see the requests in the Traefik container log.

[MagePsycho]

@hardyjohnson Sorry to bother you again.
I have this settings in ./<PROJECT-DIR>/.warden/warden-env.yml followed by warden env up and cache refresh. Still facing the 404 page.

services:
  nginx:
    labels:
      traefik.http.routers.warden-test-https-nginx.tls: "false"

This is why changing the log level of Traefik is important because then you can see the requests in the Traefik container log.

Do you know where to check those logs?
I don't see any option in https://traefik.warden.test/

[MagePsycho]

Thanks a lot @hardyjohnson
Your steps helped to run the Magento 2 on http:// version. But now facing issue with the browser forcing static resources to be served from https://
I will update here once I got the solution.
