# Linux

On Linux, you have a wide variety of choices in what software you can use as the reverse proxy. Common options may include [Nginx](/docs/manual/transports/websockets-transport/reverse-proxy/linux/nginx.md), [Caddy](/docs/manual/transports/websockets-transport/reverse-proxy/linux/caddy.md), [Apache](/docs/manual/transports/websockets-transport/reverse-proxy/linux/apache.md), [HAProxy](/docs/manual/transports/websockets-transport/reverse-proxy/linux/ha-proxy.md) and more.

We'll go into detail for a few of the common choices here, generally you likely just want to stick with whatever software you're familiar with or already using.

The following guides (aside from caddy) will assume you have already set up certbot and gotten certs issued. They're also written for Debian but should be very similar (if not identical) on other distros.

Make sure Simple Web Transport is set up like this:

* Ssl Enabled: **not checked**
* Ssl Protocols: **Tls 12**
* Server Port: **27777**
* Client Use Wss: **checked**
* Client Port Option: **Specify Port**
* Custom Client Port: **7777**

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://mirror-networking.gitbook.io/docs/manual/transports/websockets-transport/reverse-proxy/linux.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
