Login Sessions always 127.0.0.1

[ToeiRei]

Hi guys,

I got a nasty problem with nodebb and nginx reverse proxying as nodebb logs every IP as 127.0.0.1
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

config.json

{
   "url":"http://board.domain.com",
   "use_port": false,
   "secret":"some secret",
   "mongo":{
      "username":"",
      "host":"databasehost",
      "password":"mypw",
      "port":"27017",
      "database":"nodebb"
   },
   "database":"mongo"
}

nginx:

server {
        listen 80;

        server_name board.domain.com;
        return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
}

upstream board {
        server 127.0.0.1:4567;
}

server {
        listen 443 ssl http2;
        gzip off;

        ssl on;
        ssl_certificate /path/to/fullchain.pem;
        ssl_certificate_key /path/to/privkey.pem;
        ssl_dhparam ssl/dhparam-board.pem;

        server_name board.domain.com;

        access_log syslog:server=syslog:12301 graylog2_format;
        error_log syslog:server=syslog:12302;


        location / {
                proxy_set_header                X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
                proxy_set_header                X-Forward-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
                proxy_set_header                X-Forward-Proto http;
                proxy_set_header                Host $http_host;
                proxy_set_header                X-Nginx-Proxy true;

                proxy_pass                      http://board;
                proxy_redirect off;

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

        }


}

your site is https, but you are using http in the configs

"url":"http://board.domain.com", needs to be "url":"https://board.domain.com",

this is the part that makes the ips not show up
proxy_set_header X-Forward-Proto http;
should be either
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto https;
or better
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;

proxy_set_header X-Forward-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
should be
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;

theres some explanation for those headers here:

Thanks a ton. Lesson learned: 3 o' clock in the morning isn't good for migration stuff.
