Alpine Linux image with nginx with HTTP/3 (QUIC), TLSv1.3, 0-RTT, brotli support. All built on the bleeding edge. Built on the edge, for the edge.

HTTP/3 support provided from the smart people at CloudFlare with the cloudflare/quiche project.

Images for this are available on Docker Hub.

docker pull ranadeeppolavarapu/nginx-http3

Using Chrome Canary with the following CLI flags:

--flag-switches-begin --enable-quic --quic-version=h3-23 --enable-features=EnableTLS13EarlyData --flag-switches-end

Run on Mac OS (darwin):

"/Applications/Google Chrome Canary.app Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome Canary" \
  --flag-switches-begin \
  --enable-quic \
  --quic-version=h3-23 \
  --enable-features=EnableTLS13EarlyData \
  --flag-switches-end

Since HTTP/3 is experimental, we have to be sensible with it. Therefore, below is HTTP/3 in production on one of my web apps 🙃.

host=domain.example.com # Replace your domain.
echo -e "GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: $host\r\nConnection: close\r\n\r\n" > request.txt
openssl s_client -connect $host:443 -tls1_3 -sess_out session.pem -ign_eof < request.txt
openssl s_client -connect $host:443 -tls1_3 -sess_in session.pem -early_data request.txt
