Hi all,
I’m pretty new to Discourse but I’m already in love with this awesome platform.
I installed the docker version on a VPS and everything was working fine with Nginx as a reverse proxy with certbot.
I had to format the VPS, now with the same configuration, I cannot see the images anymore. I have read that is a common problem but I can’t figure out how to fix it.

In the previous installation, I had a warning concerning mixed content between https and https but I fixed it simply removing the images that I’ve uploaded before activating the https.
I could do the same right now since the forum is new, but I’d like to know what I’m doing wrong in case I have to format it again.
nginx.conf (only the part related to Discourse and the three top settings.
```plaintext
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto https;
client_max_body_size 500M;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; # pass on real client's IP
server { # forumstatale.it
server_name forumstatale.it;
access_log logs/forum_statale_it.log main;
# pass requests for dynamic content to rails/turbogears/zope, et al
location / {
proxy_pass http://app;
}
listen 443 ssl; # managed by Certbot
ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/forumstatale.it/fullchain.pem; # managed by Certbot
ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/forumstatale.it/privkey.pem; # managed by Certbot
include /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-nginx.conf; # managed by Certbot
ssl_dhparam /etc/letsencrypt/ssl-dhparams.pem; # managed by Certbot
}
server {
if ($host = forumstatale.it) {
return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
} # managed by Certbot
listen 80;
server_name forumstatale.it;
return 404; # managed by Certbot
}
```
Thank you in advance.

Did you follow the [Discourse official Standard Installation](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-official-standard-installation/142537) or something else?

I have used the official one ([discourse/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md at main · discourse/discourse · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md)). The only thing that I have skipped is the `./discourse-setup` since I already had my app.yml file that was working perfectly in the previous installation. So I used `./launcher rebuild app`.
thank you

You might try turning on the `force https` site setting.

Hi Alessandro,
Could you have restored a backup that didn’t include the uploads ? (I only ask because i did once 🙄)
You might try to upload a new file, or verify that the one of your post `/var/discourse/shared/standalone/uploads/default/original/1X/895d0d7c67affaa2caff31c74bd3ef6efbf307e9.jpeg` exists ?

It works but then I lose the https. (I removed it from Discourse)

I checked in the backup and there are the images I’ve uploaded.
