gollark: I suppose you could install caddy instead of nginx too, but I don't like it.
gollark: ```apache<VirtualHost *:80> ServerName thing1.com ProxyPass "/" "http://192.xxx.xxx.25"</VirtualHost>```seems like something which should work.
gollark: That would probably make your "edge" thing quite busy, since it would effectively be working as... half a reverse proxy.
gollark: So just stick different reverse proxy configurations in each "virtual host", I'm sure apache can do that much.
gollark: I was actually looking at recompiling nginx with LibreSSL, because I have heard horrible, *horrible* things about OpenSSL.
