Register confirm urls in first email

[Nicekiwi]

Hey so I signed up a new user and got sent this:

I've setup config.json to use that base_url, but its still using the port. I'm using a Proxy in Nginx to serve nodebb from port 4680 on localhost, can I set use_port to false and still have things work that was and give correct urls on the emails? Or is this a bug?

Hey there @Ezra-Sharp

You'll have to set use_port to off. That option just tells NodeBB to construct URLs with the port in it, like shown in that email

If use_port is set to false, does that mean that proxy_pass in Nginx can do without the port in the URL?

[julian]

@planner Even when use_port is set to false, NodeBB still listens on a port (that's how it works)

So yes, you'll still need to have the port in the proxy pass URL, otherwise nginx won't know where to send requests destined for the NodeBB

Remember, nginx is the reverse proxy server that handles a request that looks like linuxbsdos.com and sends it off to 127.0.0.1:4567

That clears up a few things for me, thanks.
