Reverse Proxy

We recommend running exatorrent behind reverse proxy . Below are example configurations of Nginx , Haproxy and Caddy made to reverse proxy exatorrent . Please don't put Basic Auth or any kind of custom auth / request modification system as Authentication is handled by exatorrent itself . /api/socket is WebSocket endpoint and Reverse Proxying server must not hinder it .

Nginx

server {
    listen 443 ssl http2;
    listen [::]:443 ssl http2;
    ssl_certificate /path/to/tls/tls.crt;
    ssl_certificate_key /path/to/tls/tls.key;

    server_name the.domain.tld;

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://localhost:5000;
        # proxy_pass http://unix:/path/to/exatorrent/unixsocket;
    }

    location /api/socket {
        proxy_pass http://localhost:5000/api/socket;
        # proxy_pass http://unix:/path/to/exatorrent/unixsocket:/api/socket;
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header Connection "Upgrade";
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
    }
