So my conclusion that there is some kind of problem with ports that indicates that forwarding is not configured properly and im out of ideas. (tried almost everything that i could find on google and discourse community). Here we can see that problem;

dbm@hkh:~$ sudo netstat -plntu
Active Internet connections (only servers)

seems like docker-proxy is not being loaded and not forwarding to port 25654 - Also i had a problem that was saying that port 80 was being used. And after that i’ve rebooted, and ngnix didnt say that we have some errors.

dbm@hkh:~$ sudo nginx -t
nginx: the configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf syntax is ok
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test is successful

Any advices or tips what could i do to sort this out! Thanks in advance

What are You trying to achieve?

That configuration looks okay but is there a service running on

http://hkh.pm:25654/

Because that is not returning anything

That is the problem… there is no service running there. And it should be running right? – By the configuration. That problem appears when i install nginx. And letsencrypt. Before doing that, i could reach my discourse on that port.

EDITED:

Like i said here, i think that problem come from here.

Do you have other web sites hosted on this server? What are you trying to do?

Docker isn’t running because Your nginx has occupied Port 443 for SSL!

You need to use websockets instead of proxy redirect.

Take some cues from Here: Adding an offline page when rebuilding
