I had a similar problem after moving to a two container configuration with nginx as the front end reverse proxy to a unix domain socket.

Everything works perfectly except that discourse was not changing http to https in the source and nginx does not rewrite / redirect this.

After a lot of digging around a days of trial and error, I finally found this command line setting:

```plaintext
cd /var/discourse
./launcher enter socket-only
rails c
SiteSetting.force_https = true

```

and verified:

```plaintext
postgres=# \c discourse
You are now connected to database "discourse" as user "postgres".
discourse=# select * from site_settings where name like '%http%';
 id | name | data_type | value | created_at | updated_at         
----+-------------+-----------+-------+----------------------------+----------------------------
 79 | force_https | 5 | t | 2020-04-16 05:51:13.165124 | 2020-04-16 05:51:13.165124
(1 row)

discourse=# \q

```

Then, I restarted:

```plaintext
./launcher restart socket-only

```

BOOM.

It worked, finally after days of head scratching and trial and error, wondering why every tutorial, howto and readme on the wild, wild net did not work flawlessly.

Now, setting `force_https = true` , it worked flawlessly 🙂

This must be like a hidden jewel in a video game and only gamers who find the hidden power can move on to the next level !! LOL. I’m there! A new discourse superpower!
