OpenProject behind NGINX Reverse proxy
Added by Mike Leffring 7 months ago
Hello all! I am new to the openproject space and loving it so far. I have it funcally running with a remote db perfectly! My issue lies in the fact that my hosting location only has a single ip address and I use it for multiple things. I already had a nginx reverse proxy up to do this pointing to many other web servers. When I create the openproject webserver and went through the reconfigure, I did the remote db which is working well, installed apache2 as the web server, did not setup ssl, and setup memcached. I then went to my nginx reverse proxy and pointed it at http://ip-of-op-web-server:80 and then went to my external records and pointed my sub domain for op to the reverse proxy public ip. That works and everything flows fine, I can post the apache or nginx config if needed. The error I get is this: HTTPS mode setup mismatch
Your application is running with HTTPS mode set to http
, but the request is an https
request. This will result in errors! You will need to set the following configuration value: OPENPROJECT_HTTPS=true
. Please see the installation documentation on how to set this configuration. I don't know how to get ride of this and can't find a ton of people online that are doing apache2 behind nginx reverse proxy as that is my needed setup. Please let me know what more I need to post or explain. I'm not sure if its wrong to install apache in general, if I should just point nginx reverse proxy at the ip:6000 but that just didn't work at all when I tried it. I have the https certificate setup on the reverse proxy right now via nginx lets encrypt. TIA!

I too am limited with IP addresses and using Nginx to reverse proxy to my OpenProject server (with separate db server). I selected "server/ssl no" in the TUI openproject reconfigure, but when I try to access port 6000 from my proxy server I get "failed: Connection refused." When I try to see the page from the local openproject ruby server, I see:
So, not only are other IP addresses being refused, ruby is forcing encrypted communication on the same VM! I would like to turn off this superfluous encryption and open port 6000 (or another port) to other IP addresses withing my virtual private cloud.
