> Try turning on force\_https. That’s a common problem with a reverse proxy since discourse can’t tell that it’s https

`force_https` is turned on since the beginning.

When I first logged into the new instance I installed yesterday it asked me right away if I want to turn on `force_https`.

But yes, Apache runs HTTPS and the reverse proxy is using port 8080 http on the Discourse Docker container. But somehow Discourse knows that it is running https anyway.
