Yes, I am using a socket on the local reverse proxy outside of the container, and check, I followed Step 5 in app.yml.

```plaintext
/var/discourse/containers# grep web.socketed.template.yml app.yml
  - "templates/web.socketed.template.yml"

/var/discourse/containers# grep templates/web.ssl.template.yml app.yml
  # - "templates/web.ssl.template.yml"

/var/discourse/containers# grep templates/web.letsencrypt.ssl.template.yml app.yml
  # - "templates/web.letsencrypt.ssl.template.yml"

/var/discourse/containers# grep http app.yml

# - "80:80" # http
# - "443:443" # https

/var/discourse/containers# grep DISCOURSE_FORCE_HTTPS app.yml
DISCOURSE_FORCE_HTTPS: true

```

```plaintext
templates:
  - "templates/postgres.template.yml"
  - "templates/redis.template.yml"
  - "templates/web.template.yml"
  ## Uncomment the next line to enable the IPv6 listener
  #- "templates/web.ipv6.template.yml"
  - "templates/web.ratelimited.template.yml"
  ## Uncomment these two lines if you wish to add Lets Encrypt (https)
  # - "templates/web.ssl.template.yml"
  # - "templates/web.letsencrypt.ssl.template.yml"
  - "templates/web.socketed.template.yml"
## which TCP/IP ports should this container expose?
## If you want Discourse to share a port with another webserver like Apache or nginx,
## see https://meta.discourse.org/t/17247 for details
#expose:
# - "80:80" # http
# - "443:443" # https

```

I reviewed this: [Discourse working with jwilder /nginx proxy & acme-companion](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-working-with-jwilder-nginx-proxy-acme-companion/217059)

but I can’t really make any sense of it in terms of my issue…
