Use cases

Step-by-step guides for the most common ways to use Ceryx.

Each guide starts from a running Ceryx. For a server, follow Deploy to production first. For your own machine, start with Local development.

Production gateway: serve your production domains with HTTPS everywhere, redirects and a fallback for unknown hostnames.
Preview deployments: give every pull request, branch or commit its own URL with one API call.
Agent environments: let agents publish the services they start on real hostnames, safely.
Local development: reach every local service at its own *.localhost hostname, without publishing ports.
Internal network gateway: expose services on a private network, with public or self-managed certificates.
API protection with mTLS: let only clients with a trusted certificate reach your API.
