NGINX Reverse Proxy Setup
Hello,
Sorry if this as been asked before but I'm stuck in trying to setup a reverse proxy using NGINX Proxy Manager.
I followed the steps as normal for adding a proxy host in NGINX but Coder is keeps reporting redirect too many times.
I have looked into the following documentation:
https://coder.com/docs/faqs#how-do-i-configure-nginx-as-the-reverse-proxy-in-front-of-coder
https://github.com/coder/coder/tree/main/examples/web-server/nginx
https://coder.com/docs/admin/configure
I have tried editing the config file, but that did not solve the problem.
Can anyone advise.
Kind Regards

Hello, Can anyone advise please.
hey @fisherd91, any luck?
your nginx config looks fine, I think your access URL might be wrong
could you send your
coder.env or env variables for Coder over? (w/ sensitive info redacted of course)Hello, still not sorted.
Not sure were to get the coder.env. Looked in the docker folder and cannot see one. Do you mean the docker enviroments?
yes that's what I mean
coder.env is for standalone installations
Here is my docker variables (using Unraid)
are you using Coder or code-server?
code-server through a docker
oh alright
yeah then those docs don't apply
you might want to hide your password
its not the real password in that image and I havent got using .env to work (still learning)
i meant in the config
your config says to bind on 8080 but your screenshot says to use 8443, could that be related?
i'm not familiar with Unraid
also in your nginx configuration I don't see any IP configured for the proxy_pass directive
due to using the NGIXX proxy manger, that is all controlled by that docker.
that config file was found very deep in the app folder. might not be relevant as i didn't set that file up
just a quick heads up, 8443 is usually used for HTTP/s traffic on an alternate port, I would recommend against 8443/443 if your traffic is http
I think that config file should say 8443 instead of 8080 for it to work
it was just the port number in the docker template. Tried changing it with no different
Changed and restarted - wont launch. getting the following errors

Changed the config.yaml back and restart and the docker works again. I think that file is internal for the docker and not meant to be user editable
Just noticed, getting alot of these appear in the terminal. I cant find any information on the ports tab. Is something i meant to enable
where are you seeing this?
actually i have an idea
could you send the contents of
conf.d/include/proxy.conf?
could you show the advanced tab too?right next to terminal tab. Have no clue.
Were is this. cant see any file for this
terminal tab in code-server?
yea when i open it locally throu the browser.
so it only fails when you're accessing it from your domain
it's generated by nginx proxy manager if that can help
i see it mentioned here in your second screenshot
oh, my bad.
add_header X-Served-By $host;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Scheme $scheme;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_pass $forward_scheme://$server:$port$request_uri;
thats the contents of the file.
Port forwarding should work out of the box with nginx proxy manager, make sure you add your wildcard domain in the domain names, e.g. *.coder.placeholder.com
Tried adding the wildcards to the nginx proxy manager, no difference was resulted. At the moment, I have nearly given up trying to fix this. I will try to find another solution.
