Installed on server with nginx reverse proxy but signup posts to localhost:4000

[kjgcoop]

I'm not sure if this is an Omnivore question or an nginx question. I installed Omnivore through Docker with all the default values except the passwords. I set up an nginx reverse proxy I swiped from https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16669773/nginx-reverse-proxy-to-backend-running-on-localhost so I can access it through the server's public IP on port 3000.

When I submit the form to sign up, it redirects to localhost:4000. For lack of a better idea, I set up a second nginx proxy to expose port 4000. It doesn't seem to make a difference.

I tried changing API_ENV to production, but I ran into different problems. It ultimately asked me for GCP details, and I gave up because I don't want to involve Google.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Having given it a minute, it occurs to me it's not an nginx issue. By the time Omnivore has written the signup form, it's already told it to be processed by localhost, so the request will never get to that server for nginx to process, it'll go straight to my laptop, which of course isn't in on the game.

I tried replacing all instances of localhost in docker-compose.yml, but it's still posting to localhost.

Any assistance would be much appreciated. Thank you!

Can you share your nginx config and docker-compose.yml?

[kjgcoop]

Sure, thanks for your response.

The nginx config file:

server {
    listen 80; 
    server_name domain.somehost.com
    location / { 
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:3000;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;

        # https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/290141/nginx-reverse-proxy-redirection
        :set proxy_redirect http://localhost:3000/ http://$remote_addr:3000/; 

    }   
}

All I changed in docker-compose.yml is swapping out localhost for the IP address:

Any insight would be much appreciated. Thank you!

I think this one might be the issue API_ENV=local

[kjgcoop]

Thank your help! I'm getting a new error: Unknown environment / no JAEGER_HOST defined in apiEnv: production

Some of the places I've seen it have the value "jaeger", but it didn't like that. It also won't accept a blank value.

Let me know if you think I should make this a new ticket since it's a message someone might google for in isolation.

Any further insight would be much appreciated. Thanks again!
