Deployment
The compose stack, external proxies, and single-host mode.
The default stack is issuer + postgres + caddy via Docker Compose, with Caddy terminating TLS on ports 80/443 (automatic HTTPS). All persistent state is bind-mounted to ./data.
┌────────────────────────── your host ──────────────────────────┐
Internet ──▶ caddy (TLS, :80/:443) ──▶ issuer (:8080, API + /admin + workers)

Behind an existing proxy
Already running nginx? Install with --proxy external (or OURO_PROXY_MODE=external): the issuer publishes on a local port and the installer emits a reference nginx config.
Single-host mode
For small deployments, SQLite replaces Postgres — same binary, schema still auto-migrates on startup.
