Reverse Proxy

Configure a reverse proxy to expose Crow CI with TLS termination.

Ports

Port	Service	Required
8000	Web UI and API	Yes
9000	GRPC (agent communication)	Only for remote agents

Note

GRPC proxy configuration is only needed when agents connect over the public internet.

Caddy

# Web UI
crow.example.com {
    reverse_proxy crow-server:8000
}

# GRPC (optional - for remote agents)
grpc.crow.example.com {
    reverse_proxy h2c://crow-server:9000
}

Nginx

server {
    listen 443 ssl;
    server_name crow.example.com;

    ssl_certificate /path/to/cert;
    ssl_certificate_key /path/to/key;

    location / {
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
        proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8000;
        proxy_redirect off;
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_buffering off;
        chunked_transfer_encoding off;
    }
}

# GRPC (optional - for remote agents)
