Configure Reverse Proxy

Set up reverse proxy patterns for routing traffic to backend services using Nginx, Traefik, or ShinyProxy.

When to Use

• Routing multiple services behind a single entry point
• Proxying WebSocket connections (Shiny, Socket.IO, live reload)
• Auto-discovering Docker services with Traefik labels
• Path-based or host-based routing to different backends
• Adding SSL termination to services that don't handle TLS

Inputs

• Required: Backend services to proxy (host:port)
• Required: Routing strategy (path-based, host-based, or both)
• Optional: Proxy tool preference (Nginx, Traefik)
• Optional: Domain name(s) for host-based routing
• Optional: WebSocket endpoints to proxy
