production client should only use port 443 / 80 #256

this hopefully solves the root cause of #255

With some distance, I still don't understand architecturally why subdomains are needed and this cannot be solved with just different localPaths on the same host and port ?

Good question. I am not familiar with traffic redirection, but if it might be possible. I have never seen that kind of architecture, though.

ralfhauser commented 5 years ago

why would you need traffic redirection and not just multiple local paths for different purposes ?

I guess I miss the picture completely

https://serverfault.com/questions/61925/apache-map-port-to-url might be like what you are suggesting. It looks possible but more complicated. We have 3 webservers (apache for static files, and 2x Express for datablue beta and stable) that need to run independently, and it is my understanding that they all need different ports to listen on.

1) "Express" cannot serve static files? 2) if otherwise wouldn't we need 2 static file servers ?
