I would abandon the IOT device doing any serving of data to any client and
instead make your cloud instance the web server rendering data it obtains
via grpc from the IOT devices. This makes the design much simpler on the
IOT side and takes any direct access to them away which simplifies the
desig
I've seen this type of SSH/rsync access used many times (and have used
it myself to great effect), but it is worth considering if you feel
confident being able to sufficiently secure the ssh access in your
threat model. Your system, if compromised, could serve as an ingress and
pivot to other syste
As far as I understand, the requirement is to have a link presented by the
cloud server, that is proxied to the IOT's HTTP handler.
The latter is only on the IOT's localhost, accessible on the cloud server
through ssh reverse tunneling (so, a specific port on the cloud server's
localhost).
This
Hey Michael,
> The piece I'm missing is how to construct a proxying handler that will
use the identifier in the link to look up the tunnel port and fetch the
IOT's home page and thereafter make it seem as though the user is directly
browsing the IOT.
If I got the question right, there are two
Thanks, Matthew. I know what RPC is, but have never considered it as a way
to serve http from behind a NAT. I should say that the IOT's are part of a
product that's been in the market for several years. My client likes the
web interface we built and wants users to be able to access an IOT's p
Honestly I'd probably use grpc and keep a constant connection from the IOT
to the cloud. No ports/services required on the client at all and the
server can still request things in real time.

FWIW, I pasted my post into ChatGPT-4 and got what might be a plausible
outline of an approach using httputil.NewSingleHostReverseProxy.
But, as we know, LLM's are prone to hallucination. If you're curious,
here's a share link.
