## Support for exposing container ports publicly (not just to the host)
Until now, various roles supported a `matrix_*_expose_port` variable, which would expose their container's port to the host. This was mostly useful for reverse-proxying manually (in case `matrix-nginx-proxy` was disabled). It could also be used for installing some playbook services (e.g. bridges, etc.) and wiring them to a separate (manual) Matrix setup.
`matrix_*_expose_port` variables were not granular enough - sometimes they would expose one port, other times multiple. They also didn't provide control over **where** to expose (to which port number and to which network interface), because they would usually hardcode something like `127.0.0.1:8080`.
All such variables have been superseded by a better (more flexible) way to do it.
**Most** people (including those not using `matrix-nginx-proxy`), **don't need** to bother with this.
Porting examples follow for people having more customized setups:
