Attack

The female suicide bomber blew herself up at a rest stop along the route the pilgrims were taking to a Shia religious festival held in Karbala. The rest stop had a security search area, which is where the bomber detonated her explosives belt. There was a similar attack on the same pilgrims last year, which killed 40.[3]

gollark: caddy is a newer and trendier one which does nice stuff like HTTPS without having to use an external program like certbot, but in my opinion v2 made configuring it quite annoying.
gollark: I'd recommend nginx for reverse-proxying, it has reasonably non-annoying configuration and is very fast.
gollark: Reverse proxies are mostly a HTTP thing. You can probably get away with just running the other stuff on multiple ports.
gollark: You can also have that one reverse proxy server do all the HTTPS, which is mildly convenient.
gollark: So just set up the router thing to only send traffic to the reverse proxy thing, and configure that properly.
