🔄 Mycelium Reverse Proxy - Global Access

✅ SUCCESS! True Global Mycelium Access via Reverse Proxy

This website demonstrates true global web hosting through Mycelium's IPv6 network!

This reverse proxy approach provides the most elegant solution: direct access to your website from anywhere in the world via Mycelium IPv6, while maintaining full Kubernetes load balancing internally.

🔄 Reverse Proxy Architecture

This deployment uses a reverse proxy pattern which is the professional way to expose internal services globally:

🌐 Traffic Flow:

  1. Global Client → Mycelium IPv6 + Port (8080/8081/8082)
  2. nginx Reverse Proxy → Receives request on host network
  3. Internal Forwarding → proxy_pass to nginx-mycelium.default.svc.cluster.local:80
  4. Kubernetes Load Balancer → Distributes to 3 nginx pods
  5. Response → Back through the same path to global client

Benefits: Clean separation, maintains load balancing, easy to scale, production-ready!

🌐 Global Access URLs

Your website is now truly globally accessible via:

Port 8080 (Node 1):

  • http://[51d:3596:6cc3:81e7:ff0f:d546:3737:4c8c]:8080
  • http://[476:c4f:b4cb:7205:ff0f:f56e:abea:6905]:8080

Port 8081 (Node 2):

  • http://[538:964a:a1e1:4057:ff0f:63c7:960b:7c27]:8081
  • http://[552:5984:2d97:72dc:ff0f:39ef:6ec:a48c]:8081

Port 8082 (Node 3):

  • http://[437:9faf:1f1a:e2b1:ff0f:1fd9:7fd5:1095]:8082
  • http://[5c3:a162:45ab:6c53:ff0f:8c55:36b0:24af]:8082

Anyone with Mycelium can access your website from anywhere in the world!

🧪 Test Global Accessibility

Test from any Mycelium client:

curl -H "Cache-Control: no-cache" http://[51d:3596:6cc3:81e7:ff0f:d546:3737:4c8c]:8080

Or test different ports to see load balancing:

curl http://[51d:3596:6cc3:81e7:ff0f:d546:3737:4c8c]:8080  # Node 1
curl http://[538:964a:a1e1:4057:ff0f:63c7:960b:7c27]:8081  # Node 2  
curl http://[437:9faf:1f1a:e2b1:ff0f:1fd9:7fd5:1095]:8082  # Node 3
