I think you should handle this in a similar way of how Cloudflare is being handled (after all, Cloudflare is an upstream proxy / load balancer as well). See [discourse\_docker/templates/cloudflare.template.yml at ae5a223074388795e4ea073a162cbf1dc174d392 · discourse/discourse\_docker · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse_docker/blob/ae5a223074388795e4ea073a162cbf1dc174d392/templates/cloudflare.template.yml)
