NGINX Home Assistant SSL proxy - your HTTP integration is not set-up for reverse proxies

Configuration
1

Hi,

So I installed HAOS, then the Let’s Encrypt addon, obtained my cert and private key from my DNS registrar, all is well.

Then installed NGINX Home Assistant SSL proxy, aaaand all it gives me in a browser is:

400: Bad Request

Then if I check the Home Assistant logs, it’s full of:

A request from a reverse proxy was received from 172.30.33.0, but your HTTP integration is not set-up for reverse proxies

Yes, I added these lines to my config:

http:
  use_x_forwarded_for: true
  trusted_proxies:
    - 172.30.33.0/24

But it does not solve anything. Tried adding the various “magic” random IP addresses others suggested on these forums, even 0.0.0.0/0, but I still receive the same error every time.

Any ideas?

After you made those changes did you run

ha core check

Then, after that returned with no errors, did you restart Home Assistant?

Hi,

I ran that command, it said all is well.

Then restarted HA from the web UI, no change. Then rebooted the VM altogether, no change.

Then I reinstalled the Nginx addon, applied my config again, and no change, still. This is the log:

(Btw it’s pretty hard to debug when these logs don’t seem to be available after the next restart of the addon. Unless I’m missing something. I remember reading some “snake-oil” initially, but could never get it to show ever again. Until now, with a reinstall.)

I’m also not sure why it generates a self-signed cert if the Let’s Encrypt cert is allegedly there.

I’d check manually, but I don’t have terminal access to this “appliance”.
