Nginx NodeBB

Ted

Hi forum (again ),
I installed nginx proxy to solve issue 571. It partially do it.
I can access all forum from inside lan, with outside domain name. It redirects 80 port connections to 4567 port, where nodeBB forum actually resides.

However, I think I get the issue 581

When I try to log on mynodebb.ddns.info:80, it redirects me to the home page, with still Register / Login buttons. But it seems I'm logged because, on mynodebb.ddns.info:4567 all appears perfectly.

The strange part is, on mynodebb.ddns.info:80 appears Admin button with Register / Login ones. I can access to and here appears connected but it seems I only have read access to settings. 0.0

I tried with websocket deleted from app.js/xhr-polling
(as suggested in the 581) but don't change anything.

(both 80 & 4567 ports of my router are open)

Is there a workaround I can do about this?

Thanks

Ted

My bad, removing websocket from transport allow me to connect to nodeBB by nginx proxy.

Are they incompatible?

I don't know if it's related but I do have these lines in nginx config file :

    # Socket.IO Support
    proxy_http_version 1.1;
    proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
    proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";

No, in fact, you need those lines in order for nginx to proxy properly to NodeBB.

Please double-check your nginx version, it needs to be > 1.3.13 in order to support web socket proxying.

Ho, I think that's it.

I'm on 1.2.6. I'll try that later.

Thanks.

Excellent! Looks like we're onto something!

Indeed, working much better.

Run as expected. Thanks @julian
