For this setup, the default sample configurations with `localhost:$APACHE_PORT` should work.
**Running the Reverse Proxy in a Docker container on the same server**<br>
For this setup, you can use as target `host.docker.internal:$APACHE_PORT` instead of `localhost:$APACHE_PORT`.<br>
For this setup, you can use as target `host.docker.internal:$APACHE_PORT` instead of `localhost:$APACHE_PORT`. **⚠️ Important:** In order to make this work on Docker for Linux, you need to add `--add-host=host.docker.internal:host-gateway` to the docker run command of your reverse proxy container or `extra_hosts: ["host.docker.internal:host-gateway"]` in docker compose (it works on Docker Desktop by default).<br>
Another option and actually the recommended way in this case is to use `--network host` option (or `network_mode: host` for docker-compose) as setting for the reverse proxy container to connect it to the host network. If you are using a firewall on the server, you need to open ports 80 and 443 for the reverse proxy manually. By doing so, the default sample configurations that point at `localhost:$APACHE_PORT` should work without having to modify them.
**Running the Reverse Proxy on a different server (no matter if in container or not)**<br>
For this setup, you need to use as target the private ip-address of the host that shall be running AIO. So e.g. `private.ip.address.of.aio.server:$APACHE_PORT` instead of `localhost:$APACHE_PORT`.<br>
If you are not sure how to retrieve that, you can run: `ip a | grep "scope global" | head -1 | awk '{print $2}' | sed 's|/.*||'` on the server that shall be running AIO. If the command returns a public ip-address, use `ip a | grep "scope global" | grep docker0 | awk '{print $2}' | sed 's|/.*||'` instead (the commands only work on Linux).
