RPi-Monitor: Security and authentication with a reverse proxy

RPi-Monitor was embedding a web server supporting ssl which was working correctly on Ubuntu distribution but unfortunately crashed on Raspbian. I did remove it since version 1.2 to remove dependencies.

In this post, we will see how to increase the security of RPi-Monitor by using a reverse proxy. The reverse proxy will be in charge of user authentication and ssl connections. We will also configure a firewall to make the RPi ready to be directly connected to Internet.


You may notice in RPi-Monitor the menu shellinabox. Activating this feature is also a topic of this post.
