Is there need for using reverse proxy tool like traefik for extra security for appwrite server?

TL;DR
[SOLVED] Reverse proxy: In this support thread, the user initially asks if there is a need for using a reverse proxy tool like Traefik for extra security for their Appwrite server. Another user suggests using a different reverse proxy, such as Nginx, for better management of ports and certificates. A solution is provided in the form of an article by Steven on how to run Appwrite behind Nginx. The user is informed that in most cases, a reverse proxy is not necessary, but it can be implemented if desired. The thread concludes by confirming that the default infrastructure for Appwrite in docker-compose uses Traef

You mean the default self-hosted Traefik service?

So it goes like this Appwritr default infrastructure in the docker-compose uses Traefik to load balance and route traffic

I think the suggestion was about adding a different revers proxy. Maybe something with Ngnix

In most use case it won't be necessary. Pepole use another reverse proxy usually to be able to manage ports and certificates on their own with ease.

The good thing is that you can do it whenever you need to do without any serious changes
