Solimões River

Solimões (Portuguese pronunciation: [soliˈmõjs]) is the name often given to upper stretches of the Amazon River in Brazil from its confluence with the Rio Negro upstream to the border of Peru. At the confluence, the river is already by far the largest river in the world, even though its two largest tributaries have not yet entered (the Negro and the Madeira River). The Solimões portion of the Amazon river lies entirely in the State of Amazonas, Brazil, and some portion of the state is often referred to as the "Solimões region". The ecoregion of the Solimões river drainage basin is entirely tropical rainforest.

The name Solimões is mostly confined to Brazilian Portuguese usage; the rest of the world refers to this portion of the river as the Amazon River.

A nation of aborigines called Soriman corrupted into Solimao and Soliemoens imparted the name to this river and region.

Notes

    gollark: It would be sent somewhere else, and there's caching.
    gollark: There isn't really, because if you're just dealing with random TCP streams I don't think they have a similar thing to the HTTP Host header, which tells you what domain ~~you~~ the client wants to access.
    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.
