Hi Just like in Title. I'm Setting up k8s for Appwrite and Setting up traefik in K8S is hard. Can I user other Proxy like Nginx etc.?

TL;DR
You can use any other reverse proxy like Nginx. However, keep in mind that Appwrite Functions might not work properly with Kubernetes. The reason is that the executor requires a connection to the Docker Socket to create and manage containers. Without a suitable replacement, functions may not work as expected. If you want to learn more about running Appwrite with a custom proxy or load balancer, check out this blog post: [link to blog post].

Hey there 👋 You can use any other proxy, as long as you configure everything nessessary. Quick blog post about it: https://dev.to/appwrite/learn-how-to-run-appwrite-with-your-own-custom-proxy-or-load-balancer-28k

One thing to remember with k8s, Appwrite Functions might not work properly. Reason being that executor needs a connection to Docker Socket to create and maintain new containers. Without a proper drop-in replacement, functions might not work as expected.

Hi There. Thanks for the reply. If k8s is hard then I tried using Docker Swarm following the guide in Dev.to. But I think its outdated and not working. Is there any updated Docs or Github or Something?
