What's the status of reverse proxy?

Hey,

First of all I just want to say thanks for an amazing project.

Curious whats the status for reverse proxies? Currently it feels hard to achieve and the only way I get this to work is without SSL and using my ip address to the VPS or I might be missing something but the docs is lacking around this area.

Some related issues:

• HYPERDX_API_PORT and HYPERDX_API_URL conflicts with proxy #441
• Reverse Proxy to easily allow for different domains #14
• Not able to override app env variables #12

@lindesvard totally hear you, this is something we're looking to address in our v2 release to make it easier to self-host with a custom domain. Fwiw for SSL it'll still require a user to set up their preferred reverse proxy for SSL certs themselves (nginx, caddy, etc) - but the v2 release should make it substantially easier to do so without re-building images and dealing with multiple containers.

In v1 you'll need to rebuild the frontend image to bake in the custom domain and host both frontend/backend containers behind a reverse proxy to achieve that. We know it's not ideal and we're looking to streamline that for v2 with a more simplified deployment method.

Thanks, looking forward to v2 🔥
