## Caddy + Authentik Outpost Proxy SSO
|

> Submitted by [luckylinux](https://github.com/luckylinux) 🙏.
|
||||
|
||||
### Introduction
|
||||
|
||||
This Setup assumes:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Authentik Installation running on a separate Host at `https://authentik.MYDOMAIN.TLD`
|
||||
2. Container Management is done on Baremetal OR in a Virtual Machine (KVM/Xen/ESXi/..., no LXC Containers !):
|
||||
i. Docker and Docker Compose configured locally running as Root (needed for `network_mode: host`) OR
|
||||
ii. Podman (optionally `podman-compose`) configured locally running as Root (needed for `network_mode: host`)
|
||||
3. TLS Certificates are already pre-obtained and located at `/var/lib/containers/certificates/letsencrypt/MYDOMAIN.TLD`.
|
||||
I use the `certbot/dns-cloudflare` Podman Container on a separate Host to obtain the Certificates which I then distribute internally.
|
||||
This Container uses the Wildcard Top-Level Domain Certificate which is valid for `MYDOMAIN.TLD` and `*.MYDOMAIN.TLD`.
|
||||
4. Proxied Access
|
||||
i. NetAlertX Web Interface is accessible via Caddy Reverse Proxy at `https://netalertx.MYDOMAIN.TLD` (default HTTPS Port 443: `https://netalertx.MYDOMAIN.TLD:443`) with `REPORT_DASHBOARD_URL=https://netalertx.MYDOMAIN.TLD`
|
||||
ii. NetAlertX GraphQL Interface is accessible via Caddy Reverse Proxy at `https://netalertx.MYDOMAIN.TLD:20212` with `BACKEND_API_URL=https://netalertx.MYDOMAIN.TLD:20212`
|
||||
iii. Authentik Proxy Outpost is accessible via Caddy Reverse Proxy at `https://netalertx.MYDOMAIN.TLD:9443`
|
||||
5. Internal Ports
|
||||
i. NGINX Web Server is set to listen on internal Port 20211 set via `PORT=20211`
|
||||
ii. Python Web Server is set to listen on internal Port `GRAPHQL_PORT=20219`
|
||||
iii. Authentik Proxy Outpost is listening on internal Port `AUTHENTIK_LISTEN__HTTP=[::1]:6000` (unencrypted) and Port `AUTHENTIK_LISTEN__HTTPS=[::1]:6443` (encrypted)
|
||||
|
||||
8. Some further Configuration for Caddy is performed in Terms of Logging, SSL Certificates, etc
|
||||
|
||||
It's also possible to [let Caddy automatically request & keep TLS Certificates up-to-date](https://caddyserver.com/docs/automatic-https), although please keep in mind that:
|
||||
|
||||
1. You risk enumerating your LAN. Every Domain/Subdomain for which Caddy requests a TLS Certificate for you will result in that Host to be listed on [List of Letsencrypt Certificates issued](https://crt.sh/).
|
||||
2. You need to either:
|
||||
i. Open Port 80 for external Access ([HTTP challenge](https://caddyserver.com/docs/automatic-https#http-challenge)) in order for Letsencrypt to verify the Ownership of the Domain/Subdomain
|
||||
ii. Open Port 443 for external Access ([TLS-ALPN challenge](https://caddyserver.com/docs/automatic-https#tls-alpn-challenge)) in order for Letsencrypt to verify the Ownership of the Domain/Subdomain
|
||||
iii. Give Caddy the Credentials to update the DNS Records at your DNS Provider ([DNS challenge](https://caddyserver.com/docs/automatic-https#dns-challenge))
|
||||
|
||||
You can also decide to deploy your own Certificates & Certification Authority, either manually with OpenSSL, or by using something like [mkcert](https://github.com/FiloSottile/mkcert).
|
||||
|
||||
In Terms of IP Stack Used:
|
||||
- External: Caddy listens on both IPv4 and IPv6.
|
||||
- Internal:
|
||||
- Authentik Outpost Proxy listens on IPv6 `[::1]`
|
||||
- NetAlertX listens on IPv4 `0.0.0.0`
|
||||
|
||||
### Flow
|
||||
The Traffic Flow will therefore be as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
- Web GUI:
|
||||
i. Client accesses `http://authentik.MYDOMAIN.TLD:80`: default (built-in Caddy) Redirect to `https://authentik.MYDOMAIN.TLD:443`
|
||||
ii. Client accesses `https://authentik.MYDOMAIN.TLD:443` -> reverse Proxy to internal Port 20211 (NetAlertX Web GUI / NGINX - unencrypted)
|
||||
- GraphQL: Client accesses `https://authentik.MYDOMAIN.TLD:20212` -> reverse Proxy to internal Port 20219 (NetAlertX GraphQL - unencrypted)
|
||||
- Authentik Outpost: Client accesses `https://authentik.MYDOMAIN.TLD:9443` -> reverse Proxy to internal Port 6000 (Authentik Outpost Proxy - unencrypted)
|
||||
|
||||
An Overview of the Flow is provided in the Picture below:
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### Security Considerations
|
||||
|
||||
#### Caddy should be run rootless
|
||||
|
||||
> [!WARNING]
|
||||
> By default Caddy runs as `root` which is a Security Risk.
|
||||
> In order to solve this, it's recommended to create an unprivileged User `caddy` and Group `caddy` on the Host:
|
||||
> ```
|
||||
> groupadd --gid 980 caddy
|
||||
> useradd --shell /usr/sbin/nologin --gid 980 --uid 980 -c "Caddy web server" --base-dir /var/lib/caddy
|
||||
> ```
|
||||
|
||||
At least using Quadlets with Usernames (NOT required with UID/GID), but possibly using Compose in certain Cases as well, a custom `/etc/passwd` and `/etc/group` might need to be bind-mounted inside the Container.
|
||||
`passwd`:
|
||||
```

||||
root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/sh

#### Authentication of GraphQL Endpoint
|
||||
|
||||
> [!WARNING]
|

> Currently the GraphQL Endpoint is NOT authenticated !
|
||||
|
||||
### Environment Files
|
||||
Depending on the Preference of the User (Environment Variables defined in Compose/Quadlet or in external `.env` File[s]), it might be prefereable to place at least some Environment Variables in external `.env` and `.env.<application>` Files.
|
||||
|
||||
The following is proposed:
|
||||
|
||||
- `.env`: common Settings (empty by Default)
|
||||
- `.env.caddy`: Caddy Settings
|
||||
- `.env.server`: NetAlertX Server/Application Settings
|
||||
- `.env.outpost.proxy`: Authentik Proxy Outpost Settings
|
||||
|
||||
The following Contents is assumed.
|
||||
|
||||
`.env.caddy`:
|
||||

### Firewall Setup
|
||||
|
||||
Depending on which GNU/Linux Distribution you are running, it might be required to open up some Firewall Ports in order to be able to access the Endpoints from outside the Host itself.
|
||||
|
||||
This is for instance the Case for Fedora Linux, where I had to open:
|
||||
|
||||
- Port 20212 for external GraphQL Access (both TCP & UDP are open, unsure if UDP is required)
|
||||
- Port 9443 for external Authentik Outpost Proxy Access (both TCP & UDP are open, unsure if UDP is required)
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### Authentik Setup
|
||||
|
||||
In order to enable Single Sign On (SSO) with Authentik, you will need to create a Provider, an Application and an Outpost.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
First of all, using the Left Sidebar, navigate to `Applications` → `Providers`, click on `Create` (Blue Button at the Top of the Screen), select `Proxy Provider`, then click `Next`:
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Fill in the required Fields:
|
||||
|
||||
- Name: choose a Name for the Provider (e.g. `netalertx`)
|
||||
- Authorization Flow: choose the Authorization Flow. I typically use `default-provider-authorization-implicit-consent (Authorize Application)`. If you select the `default-provider-authorization-explicit-consent (Authorize Application)` you will need to authorize Authentik every Time you want to log in NetAlertX, which can make the Experience less User-friendly
|
||||
- Type: Click on `Forward Auth (single application)`
|
||||
- External Host: set to `https://netalertx.MYDOMAIN.TLD`
|
||||
|
||||
Click `Finish`.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Now, using the Left Sidebar, navigate to `Applications` → `Applications`, click on `Create` (Blue Button at the Top of the Screen) and fill in the required Fields:
|
||||
|
||||
- Name: choose a Name for the Application (e.g. `netalertx`)
|
||||
- Slug: choose a Slug for the Application (e.g. `netalertx`)
|
||||
- Group: optionally you can assign this Application to a Group of Applications of your Choosing (for grouping Purposes within Authentik User Interface)
|
||||
- Provider: select the Provider you created the the `Providers` Section previosly (e.g. `netalertx`)
|
||||
|
||||
Then click `Create`.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Now, using the Left Sidebar, navigate to `Applications` → `Outposts`, click on `Create` (Blue Button at the Top of the Screen) and fill in the required Fields:
|
||||
|
||||
- Name: choose a Name for the Outpost (e.g. `netalertx`)
|
||||
- Type: `Proxy`
|
||||
- Integration: open the Dropdown and click on `---------`. Make sure it is NOT set to `Local Docker connection` !
|
||||
|
||||
In the `Available Applications` Section, select the Application you created in the Previous Step, then click the right Arrow (approx. located in the Center of the Screen), so that it gets copied in the `Selected Applications` Section.
|
||||
|
||||
Then click `Create`.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Wait a few Seconds for the Outpost to be created. Once it appears in the List, click on `Deployment Info` on the Right Side of the relevant Line.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Take note of that Token. You will need it for the Authentik Outpost Proxy Container, which will read it as the `AUTHENTIK_TOKEN` Environment Variable.
|
||||
|
||||

||||
### Login
|
||||
Now try to login by visiting `https://netalertx.MYDOMAIN.TLD`.
|
||||
|
||||
You should be greeted with a Login Screen by Authentik.
|
||||
|
||||
If you are already logged in Authentik, log out first. You can do that by visiting `https://netalertx.MYDOMAIN.TLD/outpost.goauthentik.io/sign_out`, then click on `Log out of authentik` (2nd Button). Or you can just sign out from your Authentik Admin Panel at `https://authentik.MYDOMAIN.TLD`.
|
||||
|
||||
If everything works as expected, then you can now set `SETPWD_enable_password=false` to disable double Authentication.

## Caddy + Authentik Outpost Proxy SSO
|
||||
> Submitted by [luckylinux](https://github.com/luckylinux) 🙏.
|
||||
|
||||
> [!NOTE]
|
||||
> This is community-contributed. Due to environment, setup, or networking differences, results may vary. Please open a PR to improve it instead of creating an issue, as the maintainer is not actively maintaining it.
|
||||
|
||||
> [!NOTE]
|
||||
> NetAlertX requires access to both the **web UI** (default `20211`) and the **GraphQL backend `GRAPHQL_PORT`** (default `20212`) ports.
|
||||
> Ensure your reverse proxy allows traffic to both for proper functionality.
|
||||
|
||||
### Introduction
|
||||
|
||||
This Setup assumes:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Authentik Installation running on a separate Host at `https://authentik.MYDOMAIN.TLD`
|
||||
2. Container Management is done on Baremetal OR in a Virtual Machine (KVM/Xen/ESXi/..., no LXC Containers !):
|
||||
i. Docker and Docker Compose configured locally running as Root (needed for `network_mode: host`) OR
|
||||
ii. Podman (optionally `podman-compose`) configured locally running as Root (needed for `network_mode: host`)
|
||||
3. TLS Certificates are already pre-obtained and located at `/var/lib/containers/certificates/letsencrypt/MYDOMAIN.TLD`.
|
||||
I use the `certbot/dns-cloudflare` Podman Container on a separate Host to obtain the Certificates which I then distribute internally.
|
||||
This Container uses the Wildcard Top-Level Domain Certificate which is valid for `MYDOMAIN.TLD` and `*.MYDOMAIN.TLD`.
|
||||
4. Proxied Access
|
||||
i. NetAlertX Web Interface is accessible via Caddy Reverse Proxy at `https://netalertx.MYDOMAIN.TLD` (default HTTPS Port 443: `https://netalertx.MYDOMAIN.TLD:443`) with `REPORT_DASHBOARD_URL=https://netalertx.MYDOMAIN.TLD`
|
||||
ii. NetAlertX GraphQL Interface is accessible via Caddy Reverse Proxy at `https://netalertx.MYDOMAIN.TLD:20212` with `BACKEND_API_URL=https://netalertx.MYDOMAIN.TLD:20212`
|
||||
iii. Authentik Proxy Outpost is accessible via Caddy Reverse Proxy at `https://netalertx.MYDOMAIN.TLD:9443`
|
||||
5. Internal Ports
|
||||
i. NGINX Web Server is set to listen on internal Port 20211 set via `PORT=20211`
|
||||
ii. Python Web Server is set to listen on internal Port `GRAPHQL_PORT=20219`
|
||||
iii. Authentik Proxy Outpost is listening on internal Port `AUTHENTIK_LISTEN__HTTP=[::1]:6000` (unencrypted) and Port `AUTHENTIK_LISTEN__HTTPS=[::1]:6443` (encrypted)
|
||||
|
||||
8. Some further Configuration for Caddy is performed in Terms of Logging, SSL Certificates, etc
|
||||
|
||||
It's also possible to [let Caddy automatically request & keep TLS Certificates up-to-date](https://caddyserver.com/docs/automatic-https), although please keep in mind that:
|
||||
|
||||
1. You risk enumerating your LAN. Every Domain/Subdomain for which Caddy requests a TLS Certificate for you will result in that Host to be listed on [List of Letsencrypt Certificates issued](https://crt.sh/).
|
||||
2. You need to either:
|
||||
i. Open Port 80 for external Access ([HTTP challenge](https://caddyserver.com/docs/automatic-https#http-challenge)) in order for Letsencrypt to verify the Ownership of the Domain/Subdomain
|
||||
ii. Open Port 443 for external Access ([TLS-ALPN challenge](https://caddyserver.com/docs/automatic-https#tls-alpn-challenge)) in order for Letsencrypt to verify the Ownership of the Domain/Subdomain
|
||||
iii. Give Caddy the Credentials to update the DNS Records at your DNS Provider ([DNS challenge](https://caddyserver.com/docs/automatic-https#dns-challenge))
|
||||
|
||||
You can also decide to deploy your own Certificates & Certification Authority, either manually with OpenSSL, or by using something like [mkcert](https://github.com/FiloSottile/mkcert).
|
||||
|
||||
In Terms of IP Stack Used:
|
||||
- External: Caddy listens on both IPv4 and IPv6.
|
||||
- Internal:
|
||||
- Authentik Outpost Proxy listens on IPv6 `[::1]`
|
||||
- NetAlertX listens on IPv4 `0.0.0.0`
|
||||
|
||||
### Flow
|
||||
The Traffic Flow will therefore be as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
- Web GUI:
|
||||
i. Client accesses `http://authentik.MYDOMAIN.TLD:80`: default (built-in Caddy) Redirect to `https://authentik.MYDOMAIN.TLD:443`
|
||||
ii. Client accesses `https://authentik.MYDOMAIN.TLD:443` -> reverse Proxy to internal Port 20211 (NetAlertX Web GUI / NGINX - unencrypted)
|
||||
- GraphQL: Client accesses `https://authentik.MYDOMAIN.TLD:20212` -> reverse Proxy to internal Port 20219 (NetAlertX GraphQL - unencrypted)
|
||||
- Authentik Outpost: Client accesses `https://authentik.MYDOMAIN.TLD:9443` -> reverse Proxy to internal Port 6000 (Authentik Outpost Proxy - unencrypted)
|
||||
|
||||
An Overview of the Flow is provided in the Picture below:
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### Security Considerations
|
||||
|
||||
#### Caddy should be run rootless
|
||||
|
||||
> [!WARNING]
|
||||
> By default Caddy runs as `root` which is a Security Risk.
|
||||
> In order to solve this, it's recommended to create an unprivileged User `caddy` and Group `caddy` on the Host:
|
||||
> ```
|
||||
> groupadd --gid 980 caddy
|
||||
> useradd --shell /usr/sbin/nologin --gid 980 --uid 980 -c "Caddy web server" --base-dir /var/lib/caddy
|
||||
> ```
|
||||
|
||||
At least using Quadlets with Usernames (NOT required with UID/GID), but possibly using Compose in certain Cases as well, a custom `/etc/passwd` and `/etc/group` might need to be bind-mounted inside the Container.
|
||||
`passwd`:
|
||||
```
|
||||
root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/sh
|
||||
bin:x:1:1:bin:/bin:/sbin/nologin

#### Authentication of GraphQL Endpoint
|
||||
|
||||
> [!WARNING]
|
||||
> Currently the GraphQL Endpoint is NOT authenticated !
|
||||
|
||||
### Environment Files
|
||||
Depending on the Preference of the User (Environment Variables defined in Compose/Quadlet or in external `.env` File[s]), it might be prefereable to place at least some Environment Variables in external `.env` and `.env.<application>` Files.
|
||||
|
||||
The following is proposed:
|
||||
|
||||
- `.env`: common Settings (empty by Default)
|
||||
- `.env.caddy`: Caddy Settings
|
||||
- `.env.server`: NetAlertX Server/Application Settings
|
||||
- `.env.outpost.proxy`: Authentik Proxy Outpost Settings
|
||||
|
||||
The following Contents is assumed.
|
||||
|
||||
`.env.caddy`:
|
||||

### Firewall Setup
|
||||
|
||||
Depending on which GNU/Linux Distribution you are running, it might be required to open up some Firewall Ports in order to be able to access the Endpoints from outside the Host itself.
|
||||
|
||||
This is for instance the Case for Fedora Linux, where I had to open:
|
||||
|
||||
- Port 20212 for external GraphQL Access (both TCP & UDP are open, unsure if UDP is required)
|
||||
- Port 9443 for external Authentik Outpost Proxy Access (both TCP & UDP are open, unsure if UDP is required)
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### Authentik Setup
|
||||
|
||||
In order to enable Single Sign On (SSO) with Authentik, you will need to create a Provider, an Application and an Outpost.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
First of all, using the Left Sidebar, navigate to `Applications` → `Providers`, click on `Create` (Blue Button at the Top of the Screen), select `Proxy Provider`, then click `Next`:
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Fill in the required Fields:
|
||||
|
||||
- Name: choose a Name for the Provider (e.g. `netalertx`)
|
||||
- Authorization Flow: choose the Authorization Flow. I typically use `default-provider-authorization-implicit-consent (Authorize Application)`. If you select the `default-provider-authorization-explicit-consent (Authorize Application)` you will need to authorize Authentik every Time you want to log in NetAlertX, which can make the Experience less User-friendly
|
||||
- Type: Click on `Forward Auth (single application)`
|
||||
- External Host: set to `https://netalertx.MYDOMAIN.TLD`
|
||||
|
||||
Click `Finish`.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Now, using the Left Sidebar, navigate to `Applications` → `Applications`, click on `Create` (Blue Button at the Top of the Screen) and fill in the required Fields:
|
||||
|
||||
- Name: choose a Name for the Application (e.g. `netalertx`)
|
||||
- Slug: choose a Slug for the Application (e.g. `netalertx`)
|
||||
- Group: optionally you can assign this Application to a Group of Applications of your Choosing (for grouping Purposes within Authentik User Interface)
|
||||
- Provider: select the Provider you created the the `Providers` Section previosly (e.g. `netalertx`)
|
||||
|
||||
Then click `Create`.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Now, using the Left Sidebar, navigate to `Applications` → `Outposts`, click on `Create` (Blue Button at the Top of the Screen) and fill in the required Fields:
|
||||
|
||||
- Name: choose a Name for the Outpost (e.g. `netalertx`)
|
||||
- Type: `Proxy`
|
||||
- Integration: open the Dropdown and click on `---------`. Make sure it is NOT set to `Local Docker connection` !
|
||||
|
||||
In the `Available Applications` Section, select the Application you created in the Previous Step, then click the right Arrow (approx. located in the Center of the Screen), so that it gets copied in the `Selected Applications` Section.
|
||||
|
||||
Then click `Create`.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Wait a few Seconds for the Outpost to be created. Once it appears in the List, click on `Deployment Info` on the Right Side of the relevant Line.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Take note of that Token. You will need it for the Authentik Outpost Proxy Container, which will read it as the `AUTHENTIK_TOKEN` Environment Variable.
|
||||
|
||||

If you are already logged in Authentik, log out first. You can do that by visiting `https://netalertx.MYDOMAIN.TLD/outpost.goauthentik.io/sign_out`, then click on `Log out of authentik` (2nd Button). Or you can just sign out from your Authentik Admin Panel at `https://authentik.MYDOMAIN.TLD`.
|
||||
|
||||
If everything works as expected, then you can now set `SETPWD_enable_password=false` to disable double Authentication.

# Guide: Routing NetAlertX API via Traefik v3
|
||||
|
||||
> [!NOTE]
|
||||
> NetAlertX requires access to both the **web UI** (default `20211`) and the **GraphQL backend `GRAPHQL_PORT`** (default `20212`) ports.
|
||||
> Ensure your reverse proxy allows traffic to both for proper functionality.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
> [!NOTE]
|
||||
> This is community-contributed. Due to environment, setup, or networking differences, results may vary. Please open a PR to improve it instead of creating an issue, as the maintainer is not actively maintaining it.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Traefik v3 requires the following setup to route traffic properly. This guide shows a working configuration using a dedicated `PathPrefix`.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 1. Configure NetAlertX Backend URL
|
||||
|
||||
1. Open the NetAlertX UI: **Settings → Core → General**.
|
||||
2. Set the `BACKEND_API_URL` to include a custom path prefix, for example:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
https://netalertx.yourdomain.com/netalertx-api
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This tells the frontend where to reach the backend API.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 2. Create a Traefik Router for the API
|
||||
|
||||
Define a router specifically for the API with a higher priority and a `PathPrefix` rule:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
netalertx-api:
|
||||
rule: "Host(`netalertx.yourdomain.com`) && PathPrefix(`/netalertx-api`)"
|
||||
service: netalertx-api-service
|
||||
middlewares:
|
||||
- netalertx-stripprefix
|
||||
priority: 100
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Notes:**
|
||||
|
||||
* `Host(...)` ensures requests are only routed for your domain.
|
||||
* `PathPrefix(...)` routes anything under `/netalertx-api` to the backend.
|
||||
* Priority `100` ensures this router takes precedence over other routes.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 3. Add a Middleware to Strip the Prefix
|
||||
|
||||
NetAlertX expects requests at the root (`/`). Use Traefik’s `StripPrefix` middleware:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
middlewares:
|
||||
netalertx-stripprefix:
|
||||
stripPrefix:
|
||||
prefixes:
|
||||
- "/netalertx-api"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This removes `/netalertx-api` before forwarding the request to the backend container.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 4. Map the API Service to the Backend Container
|
||||
|
||||
Point the service to the internal GraphQL/Backend port (20212):
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
netalertx-api-service:
|
||||
loadBalancer:
|
||||
servers:
|
||||
- url: "http://<INTERNAL_IP>:20212"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Replace `<INTERNAL_IP>` with your NetAlertX container’s internal address.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
✅ With this setup:
|
||||
|
||||
* `https://netalertx.yourdomain.com` → Web interface (port 20211)
|
||||
* `https://netalertx.yourdomain.com/netalertx-api` → API/GraphQL backend (port 20212)
|
||||
|
||||
This cleanly separates API requests from frontend requests while keeping everything under the same domain.
