Comment on Reverse Proxy: a single point of failure in my lab

Focus more on why the service is going down, and solve for that. Make it reliable by restarting automatically in the face of failures. A Reverse Proxy should be dead simple, and not change states between restarts, so it shouldn’t be dying in the first place. Having it restart on failures should be simple and reliable.

It never goes down :-) I just want to make it better.
Alright, im kind lying, it use to go down all the time cause my NICs would hang, but I did fix it. This problem did gave me the itch to make it even more avaliable.

There’s only so much reliability you can build into a simple home setup without it being a major loss on investment. In a datacenter situation, you’d have fault tolerance on all the network ingress: load balancers, bonded interfaces, SDWAN configurations…etc.
Unless you want 3 of everything you own, just do the basics 🤣
