Application Portal

KitchenSync also serves as a reverse proxy for the following services;

External URL	Service	Internal URL
https://ha.farsetlabs.org.uk	HomeAssistant	homeassistant.local:8123

Adding additional reverse proxies

Any desired external URL not under *.members.unit1.farsetlabs.org.uk will require an additional entry in Route53) to redirect the desired URL as an A record Alias to members.unit1.farsetlabs.org.uk

Additionally, if HTTPS is required, a Lets Encrypt certificate can be generated on the relevant subdomain, and assigned to the portal, via “Control Panel” > “Security” > “Certificates”

For many interactive services, you may need to enable Websockets Custom Headers in the Reverse Proxy configuration (through the ‘Create’ button on the relevant tab)
