Hi @romens96

Reverse proxy is not essential for any setup, the purpose of reverse proxy is to allow a service running on

http://yourhost:1234

to map to

http://yourhost/some_suburl/

Therefore, if you can open up port 1234 to the outside world, then you don't even need to reverse proxy. Many cloud servers allow you to open up arbitrary ports. Some institutional networks only allow some specific port so in that situation it is important to reverse proxy
