Description
Question
Hello, can developers explain, why forwarding certs to smp instead of intercept tls by reverse proxy to smp:80
In the docs there is example of Caddy issuing certs and then this certs is used by smp server to show web page. Why not leave smp only http, but https leave to reverse proxy such as Caddy or Traefik or some else?
