In order to use upnp and other discovery services, home assistant needs
to live on our real network and not inside a Docker network. This is
trivial, but triggered an issue with our nginx proxy, which does not
support proxying to containers on the host network. This is resolved by
adding ANOTHER proxy to transition from the docker "proxy" network to
the host network (simply by pointing at the machines IP address).
