I did read that i need to forward 443 to 443. But I also need to know what to change in the nginx add on. For now I just added the domain name and location for letsencrypt certificate.
I tried to follow this guide here Reverse proxy using NGINX but no luck.
Not sure if i was doing it right.
What i did was as follows:-
step 1 to 4 was done via addon. so i skipped.
step 5 -
copied this code into the default file ( basically replaced everything with it)
map $http_upgrade $connection_upgrade {
default upgrade;
'' close;
}
server {
# Update this line to be your domain
server_name mysubdomain.duckdns.org;
# These shouldn't need to be changed
listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=off;
return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
}
server {
# Update this line to be your domain
server_name mysubdomain.duckdns.org;
# Ensure these lines point to your SSL certificate and key
ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/mysubdomain.duckdns.org/fullchain.pem;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/mysubdomain.duckdns.org/privkey.pem;
# Use these lines instead if you created a self-signed certificate
# ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/ssl/cert.pem;
# ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/ssl/key.pem;
# Ensure this line points to your dhparams file
ssl_dhparam /etc/nginx/ssl/dhparams.pem;
# These shouldn't need to be changed
listen [::]:443 ssl default_server ipv6only=off; # if your nginx version is >= 1.9.5 you can also add the "http2" flag here
add_header Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=31536000; includeSubdomains";
# ssl on; # Uncomment if you are using nginx < 1.15.0
ssl_protocols TLSv1.2;
ssl_ciphers "EECDH+AESGCM:EDH+AESGCM:AES256+EECDH:AES256+EDH:!aNULL:!eNULL:!EXPORT:!DES:!MD5:!PSK:!RC4";
ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;
ssl_session_cache shared:SSL:10m;
proxy_buffering off;
location / {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8123;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_redirect http:// https://;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection $connection_upgrade;
}
}
i wonder if ssl_ciphers need to be changed.
skipped step 6.
step 7 - restart nginx docker.
forwarded port 443 to 443 and 80 to 80.
step 9 :
added this in configuration.yaml
http:
# For extra security set this to only accept connections on localhost if NGINX is on the same machine
# Uncommenting this will mean that you can only reach Home Assistant using the proxy, not directly via IP from other clients.
# server_host: 127.0.0.1
use_x_forwarded_for: true
# You must set the trusted proxy IP address so that Home Assistant will properly accept connections
# Set this to your NGINX machine IP, or localhost if hosted on the same machine.
trusted_proxies: 127.0.0.1
Result - couldnt access HA. typing duckdnsurl will forward to HASS logo and say loading and then fail.
I’m sure there are a few things i’m doing wrong.
Now i bumped into another problem. Everytime libre elec restarts, it recreates the nginx docker which causes high cpu usage. Looking for an alternative method.
