Comment on Ask HN: Do you use Nginx in production? or have you switchedparent

Cool, but how do you provision SSL locally if you're behind a NAT?

For the serving static files/rewrites I usually try to do it in my own code so I don't have to deal with extra configs. Of course, this is a bit slow but locally it's fine :)

Remote / work from home without crazy VPN requirements. Some workplaces / offices I've been to also don't have them.

I gets a lot harder when you have multiple services and/or if you mean you've just written your own reverse proxy then I'd prefer learning the configs.

Writing my own, ah no :D just setting up my local env to serve static files. Flask, Node, Go, DJango supports it out of the box. Though, they're extremely slow in most cases. Then in production I just override the url with Caddyserver. Pretty neat :)
