Hello galaxians,

I'm currently trying to set up a production galaxy and make it available to the public but I face a weird issue, probably because of my nginx proxy configuration.

Galaxy is on a kvm virtual machine running on a host using nginx as proxy.

to make it a bit clearer:

172.30.24.35 (client) ---> http://172.30.24.63/machine1 (Host & nginx proxy) --- > http://192.168.122.254:8080/ (virtual machine)

I can connect to galaxy but when logging in, the virtual machine redirects me on 192.168.122.254:8080, which is unreachable from the 172.30.24.0 network. If I log in from the Host, it's all fine.

in the universe_wsgi.ini, i've set:

# Define the proxy-prefix filter.
[filter:proxy-prefix]
use = egg:PasteDeploy#prefix
prefix = /machine1

...

# [filter:proxy-prefix] section above.
filter-with = proxy-prefix

as described in the documentation.

My virtual machine nginx conf file:

user galaxy;
worker_processes 2;

#error_log logs/error.log;
#error_log logs/error.log notice;
#error_log logs/error.log info;

#pid        logs/nginx.pid;

        location = /50x.html {
            root html;
        }
    }
}

And my host configuration :

server {
    listen 80 default_server;
    listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on;

    root /usr/share/nginx/html;
    index index.html index.htm;

    # Make site accessible from http://localhost/
    server_name localhost;

    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
    }

    location /machine1 {
        proxy_pass http://192.168.122.254:8080;

}
}
