Browser platform for self-hosting a web service
An example operation may include one or more of downloading a container image of a web service from a data store, wherein the web service is configured to be self-hosted, deploying a self-hosted copy of the web service within a container runtime of a local device based on execution of the downloaded container image, and modifying a domain name system (DNS) to include a mapping of the web service to a local network address of the self-hosted copy of the web service deployed in the container runtime.
1 . An apparatus, comprising:
a processor configured to:
query an endpoint associated with a web service;
determine, based on results of the query, that the web service is configured to be self-hosted;
download, based on the determination that the web service is configured to be self-hosted, a container image of the web service from a data store;
deploy a self-hosted copy of the web service within a container runtime of a local device based on execution of the downloaded container image; and
modify a domain name system (DNS) to include a mapping of the web service to a local network address of the self-hosted copy of the web service deployed in the container runtime.
2 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to identify, based on the results of the query, a data store location of the container image of the web service.
3 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the apparatus further comprises a browser, and the processor is further configured to transmit a notification of execution of the self-hosted copy of the web service via the container runtime to the browser.
4 . The apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the processor is further configured to display a notification within the browser which indicates the web service is being self-hosted.
5 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to store an identifier of the web service mapped to a defined port of the local device where the self-hosted copy of the web service is hosted, via the DNS.
6 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to deploy a second self-hosted copy of the web service on a second system, and enable both the self-hosted copy and the second self-hosted copy of the web service to receive traffic.
7 . A method, comprising:
querying an endpoint associated with a web service;
determining, based on results of the querying, that the web service is configured to be self-hosted;
downloading, based on the determining that the web service is configured to be self-hosted, a container image of the web service from a data store;
deploying a self-hosted copy of the web service within a container runtime of a local device based on execution of the downloaded container image; and
modifying a domain name system (DNS) to include a mapping of the web service to a local network address of the self-hosted copy of the web service deployed in the container runtime.
8 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the method further comprises identifying, based on the results of the querying, a data store location of the container image of the web service.
9 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the local device comprises a browser, and the method further comprises transmitting a notification of execution of the self-hosted copy of the web service via the container runtime to the browser.
10 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the method further comprises displaying a notification within the browser which indicates the web service is self-hosted.
11 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the modifying comprises storing an identifier of the web service mapped to a defined port of the local device where the self-hosted copy of the web service is hosted, via the DNS.
12 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the method further comprises deploying a second self-hosted copy of the web service on a second system, and enabling both the self-hosted copy and the second self-hosted copy of the web service to receive traffic.
13 . A computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having stored thereon instructions, that when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform:
querying an endpoint associated with a web service;
determining, based on results of the querying, that the web service is configured to be self-hosted;
downloading, based on the determining that the web service is configured to be self-hosted, a container image of the web service from a data store;
deploying a self-hosted copy of the web service within a container runtime of a local device based on execution of the downloaded container image; and
modifying a domain name system (DNS) to include a mapping of the web service to a local network address of the self-hosted copy of the web service deployed in the container runtime.
14 . The computer program product of claim 13 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to perform:
identifying, based on the results of the querying, a data store location of the container image of the web service.
15 . The computer program product of claim 13 , wherein the local device comprises a browser, and the instructions further cause the processor to perform:
transmitting a notification of execution of the self-hosted copy of the web service via the container runtime to the browser.
16 . The computer program product of claim 15 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to perform:
displaying a notification within the browser which indicates the web service is being self-hosted.
17 . The computer program product of claim 13 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to perform:
deploying a second self-hosted copy of the web service on a second system, and enabling both the self-hosted copy and the second self-hosted copy of the web service to receive traffic.
18 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the results of the query associated with the web service comprises at least one of a value that indicates whether the web service is configured to be self-hosted, an identifier of the container image of the web service, a network address where the container image is downloadable, or a version identifier of the web service.
