Yay!! It’s done! IP’s are now showing correctly in the access log 😃

For some reason the spacing messed up in the snippet above, here it is for anyone who might need it in future:

```plaintext
run:
  - replace:
      filename: /etc/nginx/conf.d/discourse.conf
      from: "types {"
      to: |
        set_real_ip_from 172.17.0.0/24;
        real_ip_header X-Forwarded-For;
        real_ip_recursive on;
        types {

```

Thank you @pfaffman and @sam and @mpalmer for your help 💙
