Since there have been quite some people with basic docker setup issues when using a reverse proxy and very basic reverse proxies like a nginx running locally as a proxy or Caddy, I figured these added sentences might clear things up for some people.
Feel free to suggest additional topics which should be added or refined.
Added information to fix problems where container could not reach each other because firewall blocked it.
Added information how to setup ssl via reverse proxy.
In order to run over HTTPS* django requires the X-Forwarded-Proto header sent from the nginx proxy. I didn't add everything needed for TLS, but this header works with HTTP and HTTPS so I figure it might save a few people some time if they ever decide to secure their installation.
\* specifically, I noticed that image URLs are requested over HTTP instead of HTTPS even when the main page is HTTPS until this header is sent
I just went through a manual install on DietPi / Debian Unstable, and found that the manual needed some improving, this method works, whereas following the original manual was not a success for me.
The only line I would say I am unsure about is this one:
"Give the user permissions: `chown -R recipes:www-data /var/www/recipes`"
As I am not sure whether these permissions are necessary for this to work.
Hope this is useful, let me know if I can make further improvements.
My understanding is if you want to access the app on port 3000, you
would use `docker run -d -p 3000:8080 ...` for a Docker command. For
Docker Compose, it's:
```
nginx_recipes:
ports:
- 3000:80
```
Not having the backslashes for the `docker run` command resulted in an
error.
Using `80:80` is ignored. While it will work on port 80, it fails when
using any other port such as `3000:80`. Using `3000:8080` works.
Volumes should have a colon on the end, otherwise you get a `ERROR:
yaml.scanner.ScannerError: mapping values are not allowed here`
That said, the new Docker install isn't working for me yet, but I love
the idea of bundling the nginx files with the recipes container.
