Hi, how do you run forgejo under a reverse proxy while using an ssh channel to pull/push commits?

From what I understand caddy is only able to proxy http traffic.

There seems to be mixed reactions to this suggestion. I don't know enough to understand why.

Because forgejo's ssh isn't for a normal ssh service, but rather so that users can access git over ssh.

Now technically, a bastion should work, but it's not really what people want when they are trying to set up git over ssh. Since git/ssh is a service, rather than an administrative tool, why shouldn't it be configured within the other tools used for exposes services? (Reverse proxy/caddy).

And in addition to that, people most probably want git/ssh to be available publicly, which a bastion host doesn't do.
