websockets on the same URL, without mod_rewrite (and, without
mod_proxy_wstunnel).

or, if you have [Apache httpd 2.4.47+](https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_proxy.html#protoupgrade), you can get rid of both `mod_rewrite` and `mod_proxy_wstunnel` and simplify the whole config to:
```apache
MDomain example.com auto
MDCertificateAgreement accepted
<VirtualHost *:80 >
ServerName example.com
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerName example.com
SSLEngine On
ProxyPreserveHost On
# set to 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost to work around https://stackoverflow.com/a/52550758
ProxyPass / http://127.0.0.1:8080/ upgrade=websocket
ProxyPassReverse / http://127.0.0.1:8080/
RequestHeader set "X-Forwarded-Proto" expr=https
</VirtualHost>
```
Again, replace occurrences of `example.com` in the above config file with the hostname of your GtS server. If your domain name is `gotosocial.example.com`, then `gotosocial.example.com` would be the correct value.
You should also change `http://127.0.0.1:8080` to the correct address and port (if it's not on `127.0.0.1:8080`) of your GtS server. For example, if you're running GoToSocial on another machine with the local ip of `192.168.178.69` and on port `8080` then `http://192.168.178.69:8080/` would be the correct value.
