The UI is served at https://k6v6.mckero.dn42/ with nginx terminating TLS and the
server itself now bound to loopback, so it is not directly reachable.
No new address and no new certificate: 443 is shared with the other vhosts on
these DN42 addresses and separated by SNI, and the existing *.mckero.dn42 wildcard
already covers the name. Only DN42 addresses are bound, so the public 443
listeners on this host are untouched.
docs/reverse-proxy.md records the settings that are not optional, because each has
a failure mode that is easy to misread:
proxy_buffering off -- otherwise the frame stream arrives in bursts
X-Forwarded-For -- otherwise every log line is attributed to 127.0.0.1
long read timeout -- a paused guest emits nothing at all
tcp_nodelay -- Nagle would delay exactly the latency-critical requests
Two pitfalls hit while setting it up are written down. "http2 on;" needs nginx
1.25.1+ and this host runs 1.22.1, and because nginx -t was run before the symlink
existed it passed, then reload failed and left nginx stopped, briefly taking the
other sites down. Separately, a newly added listen address needs a reload to be
bound: after the failed reload, v6 requests failed with nothing in the error log
until a second reload created the socket.
deploy/nginx-k6v6.conf keeps a copy in the repo, since nothing here
version-controls /etc.
Verified: HTTP 200 on both families with the certificate validating (no -k), 7
frames in a 20 KB stream sample, log entries attributed to real client addresses.
