## LE/SWAG

### Subdomain

Place in the `proxy-confs` folder as `overseerr.subdomain.conf`

Example Configuration:

```text
server {
    listen 443 ssl http2;
    listen [::]:443 ssl http2;

    server_name overseerr.*;

    include /config/nginx/ssl.conf;

    client_max_body_size 0;

    location / {

        include /config/nginx/proxy.conf;
        resolver 127.0.0.11 valid=30s;
        set $upstream_app overseerr;
        set $upstream_port 5055;
        set $upstream_proto http;
        proxy_pass $upstream_proto://$upstream_app:$upstream_port;

    }

}
```

## Traefik \(v2\)

Add the labels to the Overseerr service in your `docker-compose` file. A basic example for a `docker-compose` file using Traefik can be found [here](https://doc.traefik.io/traefik/user-guides/docker-compose/basic-example/).

### Subdomain

Example Configuration:

```text
labels:
  - "traefik.enable=true"
  ## HTTP Routers
  - "traefik.http.routers.overseerr-rtr.entrypoints=https"
  - "traefik.http.routers.overseerr-rtr.rule=Host(`overseerr.domain.com`)"
  - "traefik.http.routers.overseerr-rtr.tls=true"
  ## HTTP Services
  - "traefik.http.routers.overseerr-rtr.service=overseerr-svc"
  - "traefik.http.services.overseerr-svc.loadbalancer.server.port=5055"
```

## LE/NGINX

### Subdomain

Take the configuration below and place it in `/etc/nginx/sites-available/overseerr.example.com.conf`.

Create a symlink to `/etc/nginx/sites-enabled`:

```text
sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/overseerr.example.com.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/overseerr.example.com.conf
```

Test the configuration:

```text
sudo nginx -t
```

Reload your configuration for NGINX:

```text
sudo systemctl reload nginx
```

Example Configuration:

```text
server {
    listen 80;
    server_name overseerr.example.com;
    return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri;
}

server {
    listen 443 ssl http2;
    server_name overseerr.example.com;

    ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/overseerr.example.com/fullchain.pem;
    ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/overseerr.example.com/privkey.pem;
