Sometimes ranting helps I guess. After I reverted everything back to Nginx Reverse Proxy (after getting fed up with configuring Nginx) I noticed that this ominous '/desktop#/' thing was still getting appended to my selfhosted apps URLs.

That means it was just cached from the ezBookkeeping app (which uses it to show the desktop page instead of the mobile page) I tried first and configured wrong for a short amount of time but that was enough for the browser to cache it and append it to every other URL.

I think I just give up configuring Nginx and just stay with Nginx Proxy Manager. That would mean I can't configure everything through files but at least it works.

I have now spent 2 days trying to get Nginx to work and I managed to reverse proxy to my selfhosted services with valid SSL certificates created with a DNS challenge but when I try to access my services via the configured URL I get an "/desktop#/" appended to it and half the apps don't like that and won't work with that.

I wish I could use Caddy but the way modules are installed for it is so unnecessarily convoluted IMO compared to Nginx plugins which you can just install with your package manager instead of having to build it with the modules included for yourself (or creating your own Docker image) which makes maintaining it a PITA (and I need a module for Caddy because I need DNS challenge for SSL certificates because I don't want to open any ports on my server).

Rant over I think

Take the time to read {again} how Stephan has built a self hosted CDN using OpenSource programming and tools.

He literally shares the code. From what I processed, this method can scale up quite easily. You can build a super large CDN yourself using similar modus operandi.

No corporate CDN, but the insight, resilience and technical expertise of a great programmer, with the Passion and Curiosity of someone visionary.

All powered by OpenSource BSD IPv6 jails DNS caching and enthusiasm

Thank you Stephan
