Apache

If you are not already running apache, or are using docker, it is recommended that you use nginx instead of apache. However, nitter will still work well behind apache if that is your preference.

Below is a sample configuration that forces users to use https which proxies a connection to nitter. Be sure to have proxy_http enabled (ie a2enmod proxy_http), or this configuration will not work.
