Hello! I’ve setup Discourse servers in a about 5 instances now and all seem to be exhibiting odd behaviour; not sure if it is indeed a Bug or if anyone else has experience same. Steps to Recreate Server setup goes smooth Wizard walk through is fine, all images are uploaded and shown as expected U…

@itsbhanusharma do I comment out 80:80 #http and use @RGJ ’s advise to proxy_pass https?

Why aren’t you following the supported process for multisite here? You’re effectively reinventing a very fragile wheel.

So many links have been provided now, @Stephen -- that I am at a loss to make sense of it all. I thought I was following supported processes. Are the comments above not supported? :pensive:

Yes because you weren’t using force_https, hence the unsupported-install tag above. If you deviate from a supportable track then you won’t receive much assistance. Start here: [image] Multisite configuration with Docker Self-Hosting warning While multisite is…

So, does the standard container only run http? How is what I am trying to do multi-site? I’m not attempting to host multiple domains? I have a single domain. Can you please clarify how that addresses my issue?

What did you mean by: I’ve setup Discourse servers in a about 5 instances now and all seem to be exhibiting odd behaviour; not sure if it is indeed a Bug or if anyone else has experience same.

Independent infrastructures, not in anyway connected to one another. But all with very similar settings as per above.

So why is nginx proxying the host at all? What else is happening on the machines?

We have several VM’s that are not exposed externally, the traffic is routed through the proxy (is exposed externally), to the Discourse VM internally. Similar situation in each of the separate installs. Does that clarify?

Not really, but one way or another this is technical pain you’re just going to have to live with. It’s impossible to comment on whether there’s a better approach when the use case and topology is so ambiguous.
