Hi. I installed Discourse on a CentOS server. I also use Centos web panel. It appears that the files aren’t compressed on Discourse though it is supposed to use brotli by default and fallback to gzip. Example for this file which is 2.2 MB: https://forum.canapin.win/assets/application-301651b1c7400a000974a9cecafd44ad3304cf647cf17bcfa7af68e9ed1ac4b7.js Response Headers: accept-ranges: bytes cache-control: max-age=31536000 cache-control: public,immutable content-length: 2334732 content-type: application/javascript date: Sat, 12 Oct 2019 23:36:50 GMT expires: Sun, 11 Oct 2020 23:36:50 GMT last-modified: Sat, 12 Oct 2019 23:33:24 GMT server: nginx/1.16.1 status: 200 Request Headers: :authority: forum.canapin.win :method: GET :path: /assets/application-301651b1c7400a000974a9cecafd44ad3304cf647cf17bcfa7af68e9ed1ac4b7.js :scheme: https accept: */* accept-encoding: gzip, deflate, br accept-language: en-US,en;q=0.9 cache-control: no-cache cookie: _t=89fc0a58f2a08712f3156f2687553cf8; __profilin=p%3Dt%2Ca%3Da546654bdc3538a213cd6c6fcc4c2a92; _forum_session=YnhETkNaTjF1YTEzVXUvZW1pS1NuTVVzdm1WWndlRktMdmNlU3hBalR3dUYwRGVUTzhBSlM5WkNiS0hDdVQvRmtGeGtLOTRRNndRWk9YUFczbTJHdjMyajlNNkpXZ2xzeEZwMkVmd2grcHlILzJVVmZWeFVVNlBERVF4S3VDMkJ0N2pUWktJWitmbXc2MDFFV1VEcG56M09jalRjMEJOb2t6M1NSbjJQUit1eDFRZkdCMGplVjhLK1JUNFVNdnRmVmZuK1B1NVdwK0N5Q1VrNTdDa01tdXh1T3h2aDY4OGx0SDMzRC9Ma0YzdElFS0p6b0x3algvVnRhVlljVDQyOS0tYnpSeFl5MjNoMVFVMm42UE0ybFJ6Zz09--b49c4c072e917618f874818e246298bce81235e5 dnt: 1 pragma: no-cache referer: https://forum.canapin.win/ sec-fetch-mode: no-cors sec-fetch-site: same-origin user-agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/77.0.3865.120 Safari/537.36 Any idea why?

Thanks to @Arkshine my issue was fixed. I had to comment theses lines in /etc/nginx/proxy.inc: proxy_hide_header Vary; proxy_set_header Accept-Encoding ''; The server now sends the files properly compressed by Discourse: [image]

I followed this : discourse/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md at main · discourse/discourse · GitHub And I just changed the ports in app.yml before bootstrapping the app since the port 80 was already used. I didnt use discourse setup, I already had docker installed.

To be very precise about how I installed Discourse, here are the steps I followed: git clone https://github.com/discourse/discourse_docker.git /var/discourse cd /var/discourse cp samples/standalone.yml containers/app.yml Changed my ports here: ## which TCP/IP ports should this container expose? ## If you want Discourse to share a port with another webserver like Apache or nginx, ## see https://meta.discourse.org/t/17247 for details expose: - "8080:80" # fwd host port 80 to container port 8080 (http) - "4443:443" # fwd host port 443 to container port 4443 (https) ./launcher bootstrap app ./launcher start app And redirected my port in my nginx configuration in centos web panel: [image] That’s all.

[image] Canapin: And redirected my port in my nginx configuration in centos web panel: Well there is your problem, it is proxying stuff and not passing stuff through properly. I would recommend just keeping to our standard install which directly connects the internet to our container and handles all this stuff for you.

Thank you. I don’t know much about servers and stuff like this and I don’t know how I can achieve that. I previously used Plesk with its default settings and it was working perfectly even with nginx proxying. I’ll try to figure this out anayway I guess.
