For my personal development environment I have setup a reverse tunnele via ssh between a raspberry pi as the server which hosts my applications and a 5$ DO droplet instance with nginx and certbot to act as the publicly available ip point of my application:
Like below:
Raspberry Pi (origin server containing my in development application code for my flask and nodejs projects) === ssh reverse tunneling ===> DO instance with certbot and nginx
For tunneling itself I am using a command like the one below:
ssh -R 5000:localhost:5000 doadminuser@digitaloceanip
Desired Next Step:
I was thinking of using the same technology for a real WP website like this, so in other word I have the WordPress website hosted on my Raspberry Pi and then my domain being linked to my DO instance and whenever someone comes to my domain, the traffice gets redirected to the local Raspberry Pi via the reverse tunneling:
Request comes to domain.com linked to digital ocean instance => nginx on the DO instance reverse proxies the traffic to the local port 5000 (the port which is being reverese tunneled to from my local pi) => the reverse tunnel sends the traffic to the local pi and the application to get the desired outcome and return it to the one who asked data from the domain
My Question:
What type of metrics should I pay attention to and what tips and tricks can I use to increase number of concurrent traffic to setup more or less similar to the desired setup above?
Thank you for your attention
