Reverse Proxy for Home Assistant with macOS Server 5.3.1 Created a website within Server App for EXTERNALHOSTNAME.TLD Selected SSL Certificate for EXTERNALHOSTNAME.TLD Enabled web app in Advanced Settings This webapp/reverseproxy setup works and Home Assistant is working as expected with no functional issues via macOS Server, **BUT**, the catch is that any request matching “/api/websocket” is reverse proxied through to home assistant, for any other hostnames, which isn’t ideal. I cant figure out how to configure this upstream Service Proxy to apply this reverse proxy for /api/websocket only for the external hostname for home assistant and not reverse proxy it for all other hostnames. Any pointers on how to get the websocket reverse proxy set up correctly just for the relevant hostname? The three files configured for this to work are as follows; **Webapp PLIST file** /Library/Server/Web/Config/apache2/webapps/EXTERNALHOSTNAME.ha_webapp.plist; includeFiles /Library/Server/Web/Config/apache2/httpd_ha_webapp.conf name EXTERNALHOSTNAME.ha_webapp displayName ReverseProxy - HomeAssistant installationIndicatorFilePath /Library/Server/Web/Config/apache2/httpd_ha_webapp.conf sslPolicy 0 **Webapp CONF file** /Library/Server/Web/Config/apache2/httpd_ha_webapp.conf; ProxyPreserveHost On ProxyRequests off ProxyPass / http://INTERNALHOSTNAME:8123/ ProxyPassReverse / http://INTERNALHOSTNAME:8123/ **MacOS Server Service Proxy CONF file** /Library/Server/Web/Config/Proxy/apache_serviceproxy_customsites_ha.conf ProxyPass /api/websocket ws://INTERNALHOSTNAME:8123/api/websocket ProxyPassReverse /api/websocket ws://INTERNALHOSTNAME:8123/api/websocket
