That is what I do for my own set-up. I went down that route early on because I didn't want to have to redo the ngrok initialisation each time I (rarely) restarted the server and I didn't want to buy an ngrok service because I was not really sure that I would need it. So ... I run it over nginx with a letsencrypt cert (I even helped resolve an issue with one of the renewal scripts - https://gist.github.com/Greelan/28a46a33140b65c9a045573ca460f044#gistcomment-3140115 ) However, when Phil came up with the automatic updater mechanism that meant that the ngrok free service could be used without having to re-enter authentication information which makes that route much easier. I came up with some small changes to the Python script and Phil made some more in the script and back-end and it became even better. > > That said, given the very limited usage scenario in focus right now I'm > not entirely convinced that a straight redirect to port 9000 would > actually be a complete non-starter.
