I’ve seen many posts about how to setup nginx as a reverse proxy for seafile containers, but none on how to set ip up for a standard installation.
I’ve got a server which is exposed to the internet and that redirect some requests to another server in the lan.
INTERNET <===> EXPOSED SERVER <===> SEAFILE SERVER
The seafile server also has an nginx, listening on port 443. So basically what I want to achieve is to make the exposed server with nginx listening on port 443 to proxy all requests to the seafile server which listen to 443 and proxies to the internal seafile services.
If I understood correctly there shouldn’t be a difference between proxying to a container that is running nginx and proxying to nginx that is serving Seafile.
server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;
server_name exposed.server;
# Permanently redirect all requests to HTTPS
return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri;
}
server {
listen 443 http2 ssl;
listen [::]:443 http2 ssl;
server_name exposed.server;
ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/exposed.server/fullchain.pem;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/exposed.server/privkey.pem;
location / {
proxy_pass https://seafile.server;
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-Host $server_name;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto https;
proxy_read_timeout 1200s;
# used for view/edit office file via Office Online Server
client_max_body_size 0;
}
}
The above configuration should work but I haven’t used nginx in years so please adapt and test yourself.
