Accept HTTP request
Hi i have a home server where i would like to install opencloud. I followed the procedure for docker and configured my caddy and cloudflare to have a domain, but i cannot connect to the instance neither i use local ip of the server neither i use the domain i reserved because it keep telling me that doesn't accept http request. Is there a way to enable http requests?
With http you mean without TLS?
This is technically possible but configuration forbids it.
This is because openCloud use’s OpenIDConnect. It spec forbids unencrypted connections because you could steal access tokens very easily.
Ok, i wanted to use that because my traffic is encrypted by cloudflare and proxies behind caddy and therefore there i can use the https endpoint cloudflare give me when I try to connect Opencloud tells me that I'm trying to use http instead of https
Okay. That is how 90% of openClouds are deployed. Out public examples are exactly doing that. SSL termination at the proxy.
Please make sure that your OC_URL is set to the public URL from outside .
yes but in your example you ask for 3 more services to install: collabora, traefic and wopi. I would like to have a light installation
You can drop those features, but you need a reverse proxy. That means use traefik or your own proxy. This proxy can terminate SSL, set PROXY_TLS=false in openCloud. But OC_DOMAIN should always be the publicly reachable domain.
The public domain needs SSL with a valid certificate.
Posting this for anyone future problem solving... For those hosting opencloud behind an existing traefik (which is terminating the SSL on the public URL), opencloud env option "PROXY_TLS=false" makes it finally work. This topic was the only time (from hours of searching I saw this flag mentioned)
Hi ! same observation as @kja999 , I suggest to add this environnement variable in this page: https://docs.opencloud.eu/docs/admin/getting-started/container/docker-compose/external-proxy
opencloud env option "PROXY_TLS=false" makes it finally work.
Is that setting missing in the yaml file for the external proxy setup in the docker compose?
