Hi,

I am aware part of the problem is due to my limited knowledge of web related technologies but garch it got complicated.

Whenever I self host a new app I will spend most of my time trying to make the reverse proxy work. I have tried Caddy, HAProxy but try to stick with nginx now as it is the most popular so I increase my chance of finding the setup documented in the project itself or somewhere on Github.

Worst, I had features of some apps not working and it took me a while to figure out the problem was at the proxy level.

I am the only one or other self hosters face this too?

Do you know a good repo that have a trustable nginx reverse proxy configs for the most popular self hosted apps ?

Thank to you all !
