## Description

Hotel is a reverse proxy and process manager for local development. It maps custom local domains and subdomains to specific ports or remote servers, removing the need for manual host file modifications.

The project provides a web interface to manage the lifecycle of background processes and application servers. It includes on-demand process activation, which starts and stops servers automatically when accessed via a browser to conserve system resources.

The tool generates self-signed SSL certificates to enable encrypted HTTPS connections for local environments. It also supports routing traffic to remote servers and applications running within containerized environments by modifying origin headers for target compatibility.
