Is it possible to proxy multiple hotel servers into one? #259

Hi, first of all, thank you for such a great library! I've been using hotel for several months now, and can't imagine working without it!

I have a website which is consist of two different repos. In production, these two repos are deployed separately but linked together with NGINX.

For example: If the url starts with app, than it is rewritten to one repo: https://example.com/app/ -> repo one and everything else is rewritten to another repo: https://example.com/ -> repo two

This is actually because of the repo one (^/app) is a heavy SPA, and repo two is more of a statically rendered home page website using different framework/stack.

I have been developing these two repos separately: http://repo-one.test/app http://repo-two.test/

But now with hotel, I am thinking if there's a way to rewrite these two repos together, maybe with a proxy module or something? So then if I go to http://repo.test/app the repo-one server will start, and when I navigate to http://repo.test/, the repo-two server will start. I can start a local NGINX server just for this, but isn't that overkill and wastes my laptop's battery? Or is there some extremely lightweight proxy server I can bind to hotel as http://repo.test to make this work?

Any help are greatly appreciated!

Best wishes, Dax
