Reverse Proxy and TLS Deployment SOP
Purpose
Publish approved services through controlled DNS, TLS termination, access policies and monitored renewal.
Decision Summary
Mandatory CSI deployment control for applicable work; client-specific implementation requires approved scope and change authorization.
Use Cases
Nginx Proxy Manager/Nginx/Traefik-style ingress for internal and internet-facing web services.
Field Notes
Never expose an admin console without strong authentication, publish an unsupported backend, use origin-bypassing DNS, enable HSTS prematurely or depend on unmonitored certificate renewal.
Hardware Requirements
Registered domain/DNS control, static/public routing where required, reverse-proxy host, firewall rules, certificate authority access and monitoring.
Backup Strategy
Preserve configuration, credentials references, certificates/keys, application data and deployment documentation according to the workload-specific RPO/RTO.
Recovery Strategy
Maintain a documented rollback and tested restoration path before production change; validate service, data, access and monitoring after recovery.
Secure Boot Notes
Secure Boot applies to the proxy host. Retain it; certificate operations do not require disabling Secure Boot.
Version History
v1.0 created 2026-08-04 as the baseline CSI deployment and validation procedure.
