Hi Daniel

Thank you for your interest in the project. I can gladly give you some more information.

The basic idea is, that you have kolumbus running in a docker container and it will use simple docker labels to configure the routing between different service containers.

Load balancing and monitoring would be taken care of by envoyproxy which can be deployed as sidecar binary in every service container. This is however not strictly necessary - i.e for development setups.

Additionally, kolumbus can create a secure proxy tunnel to automatically use services on a specified remote host.

There are two complete examples on how to use it in the examples folder. One is for development and the other for production.

I would suggest to start with the development example. This will also build a respective kolumbus docker container.

Please let me know if you run into any problems or have specific questions. The project is still very young and there might still be some rough edges.
