on How to reverse proxy? · c/selfhosted · 2 pts · 1y

This may be a controversial approach, but I recently had to set up reverse proxy along with DNS configuration and certificate handling. I pair programmed with an LLM.

My experience was this... I described what I wanted to set up, my objectives (like containerisation, zero touch deployment, idempotence, etc) and it gave me a starting point. It threw a few bad ideas in but I also asked it to help me stress test against the objectives. I think it's all just about working now. I learned a lot about shell, docker, nginx, terraform, VM metadata, data persistence, pulling it all in from a git repo, bootstrapping nginx with self-signed certificates, auto renewal, vscode devcontainers and more. Honestly I'm worried about what a pro would make of my code, but I made huge steps in a relatively short time. Disclaimer: I am a software engineer who was keen to learn this stuff and get moving quickly.

I would definitely consider this approach if you're new to the area.

Yeah, on DOS I think. I remember the graphics being pretty smooth for the time. I couldn't really say it made me feel like Doom in 2D, but maybe I never thought about it that way. My memory is a bit fuzzy but I think it felt a lot slower. I think my install was shareware - I probably never played it through to the end because of this. edit: the linked article confirms DOS and shareware.

Since the first lines of your linked site mention SOLID and design patterns, you're already onto the right stuff there. That's the framework side of things. Beyond that, I advise you to go study the advanced features of your preferred language so you know how to code "correctly" and idiomatically in that language (although not in a way that obscures intent). Then it's perhaps a mental hurdle to open your repos and know that all code has imperfections. Opening it may indeed help to improve it - code review is arguably the single most useful practice in code quality.
