Like #1220, this question also came up when developing the NixOS module for Pangolin.

Gerbil has some configuration options that imply it can be accessed remotely, such as --reacheableAt and gerbil.base_endpoint, which might mean you can have a self-hosted Pangolin running on a separate environment to Gerbil. (or multiple Gerbils?)

If that is the case, what parts of Traefik, if any, need to run on the machine that is running Gerbil? Could the docs be expanded to account for this configuration?
