Thanks !!!
proxy_pass https://192.168.1.3;
proxy_pass https://192.168.1.3$request_uri;
Both did the trick, but which one is better?
I will now try to re-enable all the "force encryption" settings.
And closing firewall ports to see what I can avoid having open.
I'm a bit of novice at proxies, so please be patient :-)
I will read the documentation sections you mentioned.
I think I read somewhere that nginx would connect unencrypted to the backend, and do the
encryption / decryption, is this wrong then?
It works on some of my other domains, so is this just an exeption?
What I really ask is this: Should I change my other domains also, or should I kepp them as
they are as long as they work?
It sounds like you recommend removing the "/" on all sites(?)
A current typical setup:
server {
server_name www.printlight.dk;
server_name printlight.dk;
location / {
proxy_pass http://192.168.20.3/;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
}
listen 443 ssl; # managed by Certbot
ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/printlight.dk/fullchain.pem; # managed by Certbot
ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/printlight.dk/privkey.pem; # managed by Certbot
include /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-nginx.conf; # managed by Certbot
ssl_dhparam /etc/letsencrypt/ssl-dhparams.pem; # managed by Certbot
}
server {
if ($host = www.printlight.dk) {
return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
} # managed by Certbot
if ($host = printlight.dk) {
return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
} # managed by Certbot
listen 80;
server_name www.printlight.dk;
server_name printlight.dk;
return 404; # managed by Certbot
}
