It should be noted that running an nginx proxy in front of Discourse as described here will result in the rate limit, which is by default configured in Discourse Docker to apply for requests for all users.

The [rate limit template](https://github.com/discourse/discourse_docker/blob/ceffc4433e1bd6fcbd101f2427e17232fc99ab14/templates/web.ratelimited.template.yml) **templates/web.ratelimited.template.yml** should be removed from the docker config and the rate limit should then be configured in the outer nginx instance instead.
