I only use it for reverse proxies. I still find Apache easier for web serving, but terrible for setting up reverse proxies. So I use the advantages of each one.

I updated my comment above with some more details now that I’m not on lunch.

Reverse proxy is actually super easy with nginx. I have an nginx server at the front of my server doing the reverse proxy and an Apache server hosting some of those applications being proxied.

Basically 3 main steps:

• Setup up the DNS with your hoster for each subdomain.

• Setup your router to port forward for each port.

• Setup nginx to do the proxy from each subdomain to each port.

DreamHost let’s me manage all the records I want. I point them to the same IP as my server:

This is my config file:

server {
    listen 80;
    listen [::]:80;

    server_name photos.my_website_domain.net;

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:2342;
        include proxy_params;
    }
 }

 server {
    listen 80;
    listen [::]:80;

    server_name media.my_website_domain.net;

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8096;
        include proxy_params;
    }
}

And then I have dockers running on those ports.

root@website:~$ sudo docker ps
CONTAINER ID   IMAGE                          COMMAND                  CREATED       STATUS       PORTS                                                      NAMES
e18157d11eda   photoprism/photoprism:latest   "/scripts/entrypoint…"   4 weeks ago   Up 4 weeks   0.0.0.0:2342->2342/tcp, :::2342->2342/tcp, 2442-2443/tcp   photoprism-photoprism-1
b44e8a6fbc01   mariadb:11                     "docker-entrypoint.s…"   4 weeks ago   Up 4 weeks   3306/tcp                                                   photoprism-mariadb-1

So if you go to photos.my_website_domain.net that will navigate the user to my_website_domain.net first. My nginx server will kick in and see you want the ‘photos’ path, and reroute you to basically http://my_website_domain.net:2342. My PhotoPrism server. So you could do http://my_website_domain.net:2342 or http://photos.my_website_domain.net. Either one works. The reverse proxy does the shortcut.

Hope that helps!

Showing who how to pirate? I only download legal open source applications with my torrents.

I can’t believe I didn’t realize the double rr after sonar and radar is mimicking pirates.

Only thing I see is the continue prompt before watching

I wanted to use words a layman would know.

It’s the cleaning up of code by making it easier to read or rewriting something in a less convoluted way. Originally you just wanted it to be done quick so you coded it in a sloppy way. Now you have “debt” that needs to be fixed. You don’t really gain anything by cleaning it, so it wastes your time instead of implementing something new.

A developer is one that just codes. An engineer is one that mocks up their feature, leads meetings to explain what they are going to do and debates with others about the proposed implementation, codes it, tests it thoroughly, then answers any questions about what they made months later and diagnoses issues that QA found. Maybe you’re just a code monkey, but my job is a lot more.
