My Discourse forum is running at the address forum.example.com. I want to set up NGINX in the Discourse Docker container and followed the instructions here Run other websites on the same machine as Discourse
After completing the setup according to the instructions, I encountered an error “ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS”
My desire is to use forum.example.com/forum for the forum and forum.example.com for a HTML page.
