Some examples are given below. The format for the url is

Inbound connections permitted on 80, 443 and 8080. 8080 goes directly to Tomcat, 80 & 443 are terminated by an nginx reverse proxy. This proxy redirects 80 to 443 and terminates SSL with a LetsEncrypt Cert (for app.deadbeef.cafe, other subdomains not implemented). LetsEncrypt cert is managed by certbot.
Services
