Create `etc/http-frontend.yml`. This frontend config file has a `host_match` pattern that represents the DNS zone you're using with this instance of zrok. Incoming HTTP requests with a matching `Host` header will be handled by this frontend. You may also specify the interface address where the frontend will listen for public access requests. Create an http frontend configuration file in `etc/http-frontend.yml`.
