The reason for my initial post was that I don’t have an app.yml 🙂  
Whatever I now have one, edited it and got discourse installed.

It also works on my special port without ssl but i didn’t yet figure to get it working through the proxy.

Basically it seems to call the backend but can’t load all the assets.

Do I have to have the SSL cert also connected to the backend? I thought terminating SSL at nginx should be enough?
