But at the same time, the `reverse_proxy` is very flexible.
For a production deployment, you should [read its documentation](https://caddyserver.com/docs/caddyfile/directives/reverse_proxy) as it supports features like DNS discovery of upstreams, load balancing with checks, streaming parameters, etc.
### On-demand TLS
Caddy supports a technique called
[on-demand TLS](https://caddyserver.com/docs/automatic-https#on-demand-tls), by
which one can configure the webserver to provision TLS certificates when a
client first connects to it.
In order to prevent an attack vector whereby domains are simply pointed at your
webserver and certificates are requested for them - Caddy can be configured to
ask Garage if a domain is authorized for web hosting, before it then requests
a TLS certificate.
This 'check' endpoint, which is on the admin port (3903 by default), can be
configured in Caddy's global section as follows:
```caddy
{
...
on_demand_tls {
ask http://localhost:3903/check
interval 2m
burst 5
}
...
}
```
The host section can then be configured with (note that this uses the web
endpoint instead):
```caddy
# For a specific set of subdomains
*.web.garage.tld {
tls {
on_demand
}
reverse_proxy localhost:3902 192.168.1.2:3902 example.tld:3902
}
# Accept all domains on HTTPS
# Never configure this without global section above
https:// {
tls {
on_demand
}
reverse_proxy localhost:3902 192.168.1.2:3902 example.tld:3902
}
```
