Appwrite with Nginx - nginx

Question

I installed Appwrite on an debian-server.
The https-port for Appwrite is 444 (443 was already used). Nginx redirects my subdomain to this port.
I have a custom SSL-certificate which is working for this domain and subdomains. I can open the appwrite via the subdomain but when I click "Sign Up" to create a root account for appwrite, I get the following Error:
Invalid Origin. Register your new client (appwrite.domain.de) as a
new Web platform on your project console dashboard
First I thought I have to set proxy_set_header Host $host; in the server-config, but then I am not able to open Appwrite... instead I get the Error
{"message":"Error: Server Error","code":500,"version":"1.0.1"}
Does someone has another idea or already fixed the same problem?
This is my Server-configuration in Nginx:
server {
server_name appwrite.domain.de;
location / {
proxy_pass https://localhost:444;
}
listen 443 ssl;
ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/ssl/domain.de_ssl_certificate.cer;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/ssl/domain.de_private_key.key;
}
server {
listen 80;
server_name domain.de
www.domain.de
;
return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
}
server {
listen 80;
listen 443 ssl;
ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/ssl/domain.de_ssl_certificate.cer;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/ssl/domain.de_private_key.key;
root /var/www/html;
index index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;
server_name domain.de
www.domain.de
;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
}
Thanks for the help ;)

You're right, you need to include the proxy_set_header Host $host; directive. You might also want to include the following under server:
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection $http_connection;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
and the following under location:
add_header X-Served-By $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Scheme $scheme;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Port $port;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_pass $forward_scheme://$server:$port$request_uri;
If you're seeing a 500 error, it would be best to check the docker logs for the appwrite container to see what the problem is.
On a side note, if you're looking for an easier way to manage Nginx, I highly recommend Nginx Proxy Manager (NPM). I use NPM in front of my Appwrite.
