# Setup behind a reverse proxy which also serves the frontend
These examples assume you have an instance of the backend running on your server listening on port `3456`.
If you've changed this setting, you need to update the server configurations accordingly.
## NGINX
Below are two example configurations which you can put in your `nginx.conf`:
You may need to adjust `server_name` and `root` accordingly.
### with gzip enabled (recommended)
{{< highlight conf >}}
gzip on;
gzip_disable "msie6";
gzip_vary on;
gzip_proxied any;
gzip_comp_level 6;
gzip_buffers 16 8k;
gzip_http_version 1.1;
gzip_min_length 256;
gzip_types text/plain text/css application/json application/x-javascript text/xml application/xml application/xml+rss text/javascript application/vnd.ms-fontobject application/x-font-ttf font/opentype image/svg+xml;
server {
listen 80;
server_name localhost;
location / {
root /path/to/vikunja/static/frontend/files;
try_files $uri $uri/ /;
index index.html index.htm;
}
location /api/ {
proxy_pass http://localhost:3456;
}
}

### without gzip
{{< highlight conf >}}
server {
listen 80;
server_name localhost;
location / {
root /path/to/vikunja/static/frontend/files;
try_files $uri $uri/ /;
index index.html index.htm;
}
location /api/ {
proxy_pass http://localhost:3456;
}
}
{{< /highlight >}}
## Apache
Put the following config in `cat /etc/apache2/sites-available/vikunja.conf`:
{{< highlight aconf >}}
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName localhost
<Proxy *>
Order Deny,Allow
Allow from all
</Proxy>
ProxyPass /api http://localhost:3456/api
ProxyPassReverse /api http://localhost:3456/api
DocumentRoot /var/www/html
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^\/?(config\.json|favicon\.ico|css|fonts|images|img|js|api) - [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.html [QSA,L]
</VirtualHost>
{{< /highlight >}}
**Note:** The apache modules `proxy` and `proxy_http` must be enabled for this.
For more details see the [frontend apache configuration]({{< ref "install-frontend.md#apache">}}).
