Can't pass login screen through nginx-proxy

[phirestalker]

Describe the bug I am unable to get past the login screen when accessing photonix through my nginx-proxy. Both photonix and nginx-proxy are docker containers. I have set up multiple other containers for other services that work. I guess photonix might need some extra parameters for the proxy.

To Reproduce Set up new photonix docker container. Do setup on local address and port. Create new subdomain certificate set up nginx-proxy for new container visit the public address of the new photonix container and try to log in. Login screen stays with a "loading" message indefinitely

Expected behavior I expect it to log in sucessfully as it does on the local address and port.

I noticed in the logs for the nginx-proxy that it is requesting with http 2.0. In the nginx-prd.conf file for the photonix container it has proxy_http_version set at http 1.1 for the admin, graphql, and thumbnailer endpoints Would this possibly be the issue? If so, short of mounting the conf file as a volume and editing it, what are my other options?

EDIT: I could swear there was nothing in the logs before, but here is an excerpt from the photonix container logs.

EDIT (again): No this is a new problem in the logs because I can no longer bring up the site through its local IP address and port.

OK, redis was down, so now I am back to the original problem. There are some juicy bits in the log this time after all though.

and now I am getting 400 errors only on the public address instead of those errors.

Hi @phirestalker. Thanks for reporting this and sorry to hear you've had problems getting it running under your reverse proxy.

If I understand correctly, you are using Nginx in front of this container. Could you attach the config file you are using please?

I have a page on reverse proxies at https://photonix.org/docs/reverse_proxies/ but unfortunately haven't added an Nginx example there yet (which I need to do). You could try the Traefik one though. I know Nginx works as I have this in front of the https://demo.photonix.org/ site.

Could you also confirm that you have ALLOWED_HOSTS: '*' environment variable set also please?

[phirestalker]

Yes, I am using a docker image known as nginx-proxy. I have found the configuration that it generated for Photonix.

I do have the allowed hosts line you mentioned in my docker-compose.yml file.

I'm also seeing this issue. two things i've tried are:

1. adding external URL to ALLOWED_HOSTS in settings.py
2. added following lines to settings.py: SECURE_PROXY_SSL_HEADER = ('HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO', 'https') SECURE_SSL_REDIRECT = True USE_X_FORWARDED_HOST = True

So far im still not having any luck but feeling like this is a django issue with how its building full URLs or what URLs its allowing requests from.

Maybe this will help us crowdsource a solution a bit faster.... Thank you for the app

[phirestalker]

I found out a lot about traefik while trying to search for settings that I could translate to Nginx. The features of traefik will make some of my future docker projects easier and have also automated my letsencypt certs which use DNS verification. I have switched to traefik and it works flawlessly now.

Thank you for looking into it.

same issue here using nginx swag proxy from linuxserver.io - and not service http2 - and even if i did it's the proxy end so photonix being backend has no say in how i proxy the requests. the proxy works perfectly with piwigo, phpmyadmin and other stuff.

• photonix is not using SSL, default port 80
• yml is the default provided by you
• few to no errors in the logs though, unless i enable DEBUG
• tried DEMO MODE, dev mode, nothing works i would love to try out this product but i can't

@audioscavenger this config worked for me:

server {
    listen 443 ssl;
    listen [::]:443 ssl;

    server_name photonix.*;

    include /config/nginx/ssl.conf;

    client_max_body_size 0;
    
    # enable for Authelia
    include /config/nginx/authelia-server.conf;

    location / {
        # enable for Authelia
        include /config/nginx/authelia-location.conf;

        include /config/nginx/proxy.conf;
        set $upstream_app 192.168.10.10;
        set $upstream_port 8888;
        set $upstream_proto http;
        proxy_pass $upstream_proto://$upstream_app:$upstream_port;

    }

    location ~ /.+ {
        set $upstream_app 192.168.10.10;
        set $upstream_port 8888;
        set $upstream_proto http;
        proxy_pass $upstream_proto://$upstream_app:$upstream_port;
    }
}

the second location block removes any proxy headers for any other paths other than the root path.
