Using behind a reverse proxy

Open locness3 opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

Hi! This looks like a nice thing, however I wonder what are the implications of running this behind a reverse proxy (nginx) with https already configured and duckdns already set up?

Hi, thank you :)

I don't know much about nginx or reverse proxys, but it seems like nginx can serve static files by itself. So if you already set up DNS and HTTPS, upduck is quite useless because it basically does these three things only.

You could in theory forward an HTTPS port from nginx to the HTTP port of upduck to encrypt it, but that basically adds an - depending on the usecase - unnecessary layer both programs could handle without the other one.
