<title>so you want to write a neovim plugin with lua</title>

&lt;p&gt;When I initially looked at how to do this it seemed like it was above my paygrade and not worth the stress; that was until I came across &lt;a href=&#34;https://caddy.community/t/https-in-your-vpn-caddy-now-uses-tls-certificates-from-tailscale/15380&#34;&gt;this&lt;/a&gt;. This works great and is as simple as advertised though there is one drawback: you can only reverse proxy one service per host. So for my usecase of the laptop with multiple services running on it I could only use the magic caddy tailscale auto-https thing for one of them.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&#34;what-to-do&#34;&gt;what to do?&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Seeing as I was already using nixos on my latop server I turned to a slightly cumbersome nixos solution. One &lt;a href=&#34;https://nixos.wiki/wiki/NixOS_Containers&#34;&gt;nixos-container&lt;/a&gt; for each service I wanted over https. I&amp;rsquo;d be lying If I said I completely understand all of this NAT business but this was the config I cobbled together (copied from the nixos docs).&lt;/p&gt;

<description>&lt;p&gt;In my opinion, there are moments when the convenience of docker and its surrounding ecosystem can&amp;rsquo;t be beat. I&amp;rsquo;ve been dabbling in the self hosting world and oftentimes the best maintained packaging option is a docker image. As a result of this I&amp;rsquo;ve been playing around with the nixos approach to managing docker containers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&#34;nix---docker-compose---docker-run&#34;&gt;nix -&amp;gt; docker compose -&amp;gt; docker run&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To illustrate how to translate a simple example from the world of docker to nix let&amp;rsquo;s have a look at the config for my &lt;a href=&#34;https://docs.searxng.org/&#34;&gt;searxng&lt;/a&gt; instance.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&#34;highlight&#34;&gt;&lt;pre tabindex=&#34;0&#34; class=&#34;chroma&#34;&gt;&lt;code class=&#34;language-nix&#34; data-lang=&#34;nix&#34;&gt;&lt;span class=&#34;line&#34;&gt;&lt;span class=&#34;cl&#34;&gt;&lt;span class=&#34;n&#34;&gt;virtualisation&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&#34;o&#34;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&#34;n&#34;&gt;oci-containers&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&#34;o&#34;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&#34;n&#34;&gt;containers&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&#34;o&#34;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&#34;s2&#34;&gt;&amp;#34;searxng&amp;#34;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&#34;err&#34;&gt;=&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&#34;p&#34;&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As you can see, nix very kindly provides you with convenient options for the most essential tasks: mounting volumes, exposing ports, passing environment variables etc. But what about some more niche configurations that aren&amp;rsquo;t exposed in &lt;a href=&#34;https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/nixos/modules/virtualisation/oci-containers.nix&#34;&gt;oci-containers.nix&lt;/a&gt;. As far as I can tell, your best bet in these scenarios is &lt;code&gt;virtualisation.oci-containers.containers.&amp;lt;name&amp;gt;.extraOptions&lt;/code&gt;; this lets you pass a list of command line arguments to your docker run command. For example, I had this in my config for a vpn container.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I use nginx to serve my sites. Compared to the nginx config I used to mess around with, the equivalent nix config is very clean. This chunk tells nginx to serve the contents of &lt;code&gt;/var/www/example-site&lt;/code&gt; at &lt;code&gt;example-site.here&lt;/code&gt;. It also opens the ports for http and https in the firewall.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&#34;line&#34;&gt;&lt;span class=&#34;cl&#34;&gt; &lt;span class=&#34;n&#34;&gt;defaults&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&#34;o&#34;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&#34;n&#34;&gt;email&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&#34;o&#34;&gt;=&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&#34;s2&#34;&gt;&amp;#34;ronald@email.yes&amp;#34;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&#34;p&#34;&gt;;&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;This will set up certificates for any sites you set the &lt;code&gt;enableAMCE&lt;/code&gt; to true option for.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&#34;cron&#34;&gt;CRON&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is one final little tidbit I set up the other day. I had got bored of having to ssh into my server to manually copy my updated site to the website root. The problem was I would need root privileges on the server to rsync the files to the website root. This seemed like a whole minefield I didn&amp;rsquo;t want to mess with. Instead I set up a little cron job which copies a directory from my home to the website root every hour.&lt;/p&gt;
