Architecture: Use reverse proxy

[okoestner]

I am building up a server at my home for running some of my LAMP stack based applications. I will want to have some of my applications available from the internet.

Appreciate any thoughts on that from you!

Thanks in advance!

Behind the reverse proxy I want to host multiple LAMP stack based web applications. Question is whether all LAMP stacks should / need to be in the same network as the two containers managing the incoming traffic? From different advisories I learned that the different LA…
