1. Why a reverse proxy

Expose multiple apps securely.

2. VPS specs

Minimal CPU; SSD and RAM modest.

3. Install overview

Use Docker Compose; map ports; add hosts. Create per-app hosts with path or subdomain routing, and keep static assets cached.

4. TLS certificates

Use built-in Let's Encrypt for HTTPS. Prefer DNS-01 challenges for wildcard subdomains if your DNS provider supports it.

5. Security tips

Use strong admin passwords and restrict public endpoints. Enable access lists for admin routes and rate-limit sensitive paths.

6. Hostname strategy

Give each app a clear subdomain (e.g., cloud.example.com, media.example.com) to simplify maintenance and certificates.
