nginx reverse proxy

[Smilie 0]

Hi,

I found quite many topics on how to configure nginx on the box hosting my forums.

In my setup I have another nginx reverse proxy in front to handle SSL.

Does anyone have any experience on which settings should be applied?

Currently I have this on my proxy:

server {
	server_name hostname.com;
	location / {
		proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host;
		proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Server $host;
		proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
		#proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto https;
		#proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Port 443;
		proxy_pass http://<ip>:<port>/;
	}

    listen 443 ssl; # managed by Certbot
    ssl_certificate /stuff/fullchain.pem; # managed by Certbot
    ssl_certificate_key /stuff/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 ($host = hostname.com) {
        return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
    } # managed by Certbot

	server_name hostname.com
	listen *:80;
    return 404; # managed by Certbot
}

I have also updated the base_url in conf_global.php to point to the proxy server url.

For some reason, I keep getting redirected to the same site over and over, until the browser eventually gives up.
