Investigate replacing www-router with rails-reverse-proxy #274

We currently pay $5/mo just so we can do reverse proxying and a few redirects for legacy URLs (see nginx.conf). This is silly when we consider we pay $5/mo for the whole personnel-v3 application server.

Digital Ocean now supports basic redirects and reverse proxying, but not reverse proxying to other domains, frustratingly. rails-reverse-proxy looks like it could do the trick.

Considering (assuming?) it's such low volume traffic, this probably isn't a bad idea, and we could use the $5/mo to pay for a worker for background jobs.
