When I use ngix to set up reverse proxy my SSL fails and i’m routed to
When I add a webprefix my css dissapears.
Idk what to do. I’m lost
I use ngix because that’s what i used on another thing i installed. I tought i should probably not use multiple reverse proxy handlers on the same vps but idk?
I’ve seen mention of apache but I just can’t wrap my head around what’s the best course of action here.
Here’s my NGIX setup:
server {
server_name server.example.com;
location / {
proxy_pass http://localhost:10000/;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
}
listen 443 ssl; # managed by Certbot
ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/server.example.com/fullchain.pem; # managed by Certbot
ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/server.example.com/privkey.pem; # managed by Certbot
include /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-nginx.conf; # managed by Certbot
ssl_dhparam /etc/letsencrypt/ssl-dhparams.pem; # managed by Certbot
}
server {
if ($host = server.example.com) {
return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
} # managed by Certbot
listen 80;
server_name server.example.com;
return 404; # managed by Certbot
}
What browser are you using? When I did a proxy for a docker container Firefox complained the images were coming from a different source. Other browsers were OK.
Second. Could you clarify your setup? Why are you using a proxy here? Is it on the same machine or a different?
That nginx setup doesn’t look anything like the default used by a virtualmin install, i setup my first virtualmin lemp install today so i am no nginx expert (always used apache and will continue to use it). It might be worth starting from the default virtualmin nginx config files and also use webmin/virtualmin interface to make modifications
Webmin/Virtualmin has it’s own server, unrelated to the web browser. If you remove the configuration from Nginx it should ‘just work’ unless I’m missing something. But, I’m more of a network person.
you did install with the --LEMP option I assume? /usr/bin/wget https://software.virtualmin.com/gpl/scripts/install.sh
followed by: sudo /bin/sh install.sh --bundle LEMP
on a clean OS
then not altered any config - just added a VS in Virtualmin->Create Virtual Server
Virtuamin install script will install all you need and config everything for you.
On a clean VPS, download the virtualmin-install.sh using wget https://software.virtualmin.com/gpl/scripts/virtualmin-install.sh
then run sh virtualmin-install.sh --bundle LEMP
Virtualmin will do the NGINX install and everything else you need to host a website, like a web, mail, ftp dns etc.
You don’t need NGINX to be supplied from your VPS (you want a clean VPS OS), the install will do that for you.
Proxy shouldn’t be needed if your doing standard web hosting.
