Installation of the reverse proxy (optional)

A reverse proxy (NGINX) is not absolutely necessary for OMN5 and therefore optional.

It is used to accept the connection to the OMN5 URL or the NGINX on the OMN web server. This can also be done, for example, by an alternative reverse proxy or a load balancer that is configured accordingly. This must enable forwarding to the nHTML5 container.

You only have to be able to accept the connection to the OMN5 URL or the NGINX on the OMN web server. This can be, for example, via a reverse proxy or a load balancer at the customer’s with corresponding forwarding to the HTML5 container.

Example configuration of an NGINX reverse proxy:

Connect to the appropriate host via ssh
cd into the directory
```
/data/nginx/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
```

Create a new file such as html5-test11 with the following configuration

server {
    Listen 443 ssl http2;

    Server_name html5-test123.pd.apollon.de; # change to your url
    Server_tokens off;

    Access_log /var/log/nginx/html5-test123_access.log; # change to your server
    Error_log /var/log/nginx/html5-test123_error.log; # change to your server

    Location {
        Proxy_pass https://test-123.pd.apollon.de:443/; # change to your server
    }
}

Check if the NGINX configuration is OK:
```
docker exec nginx nginx -t
```
If the configuration is ok, reload NGINX:
```
docker exec nginx service nginx reload
```
