Hi Sam, thanks for doing this. I run Discourse behind a reverse proxy, with login-required and R2 (S3-compatible) for uploads. This combo often needs extra fixes after upgrades (mixed content, real IP, rate limits). Is Discourse planning to make these “proxy + CDN + S3-compatible” installs smoother in core, or is that expected to stay an ops-side responsibility?
