[Buildbot-devel] How to integrate Buildbot Status server on an existing server?

[shiny knight]

Much appreciated Pierre!

Now that you mention it; the old server app on Leopard, had the reverse proxy setup, while seems that the new one for Mavericks do not allow you to do so.

I will check the docs that you suggested, altho this is the first time that I do this; I am no Network admin :) If I can figure this out I can write some documentation!

The link that you sent has a section regarding "Connect ports", which is what I need, I assume.

Thanks again, I never tried this and my respect for network engineers raised quite a lot.
