Cannot interact with others - UnauthorizedFediverseException
Describe the bug Everytime an external service tries to communicate with Social the messages cannot be processed and result in a UnauthorizedFediverseException
When I dig into the SignatureService while debugging to find the cause, I find that the exception thrown is the SignatureException
https://github.com/nextcloud/social/blob/c8bf03bf3f68f4203f102ecbeb3b482443e11c16/lib/Service/SignatureService.php#L360
This is a bug already mentioned in https://github.com/nextcloud/social/issues/375 and https://github.com/nextcloud/social/issues/269
The origin of the distant server is correctly detected, but for an unknown reason, the signature verification fails https://github.com/nextcloud/social/blob/c8bf03bf3f68f4203f102ecbeb3b482443e11c16/lib/Service/SignatureService.php#L399
My setup is the following :
- VPS hosted on cloud provider
- Nginx with domain and https
- proxy to the nextcloud container (https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-nextcloud )
- This container contains a nginx that proxy to PHP FPM
internet -> VPS -> nginx (443) -> nginx (linuxserver container on port 80) -> PHP
To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Follow any account
- Wait for the server to ping back (in the /inbox endpoint)
- Check for SignatureException exception in the logs
- See error
Expected behavior
No SignatureException in the log.
You'll find in the details my nginx configuration, there is maybe an error with it, but I can't find it.

Same issue in Nextcloud 30.0.3 using the current git sources, webfinger.net can access accounts, but the POST to `/index.php/apps/social/inbox' gets a 500 error and throws UnauthorizedFediverseException
This is running Debian 12 on an rpi5, also running PixelFed, WP and Mobilizon on the fediverse without issue. NC is a manual install, no proxy, just Apache2 with PHP-FPM. This was also working before the upgrade from NC-29
