Revamped install for Piped
Due to difficulties I had installing Piped, an alternative frontend for Youtube, I decided to improve and document the process in a better way. In the end, I pretty much redid the whole thing, leaving almost no stone un-turned. You can test my installer from my repo and post any comments and doubts here.

What is piped?
Privacy conscious Interface for Youtube, with a much cleaner and faster interface. You can try a public instance from this list: https://github.com/TeamPiped/Piped/wiki/Instances
I tried running both invidious and piped in docker behind an existing nginx. Invidious was so easy, 1 and done. My main issue with piped was piped running its own nginx, and it just returning a unconfigured landing page. After battling it I got the front end working by bypassing their nginx but it wouldn't talk to my piped back end, as soon as I pointed the front end at a public backend the option to point to mine disappeared. I'll try this installer and see how it goes.
You can run with your own reverse proxy Nginx if:
You'll still need 3 DNS names and a SSL certificate to cover all three.
TO configure your Nginx, you can use the template I provided on the config/ directory as a base.
How would this work with a pre-existing reverse proxy?
