Rancher server behind Nginx reverse proxy - nginx

Question

I have a Nginx on host, a Rancher server in Docker container. I want to use Nginx reverse proxy Rancher:
Here is my Nginx config:
map $http_upgrade $connection_upgrade {
default Upgrade;
'' close;
}
location /rancher {
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Port $server_port;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection $connection_upgrade;
}
But when I try to access https://mydomain/rancher , static files can not be loaded. I want to know:
Does it common to run Rancher server behind a Nginx proxy?
How can I make my config work?

Answer 1

I am guessing you want to access your application over TLS. Try the following configuration,
server {
listen 443 default_server;
server_name mydomain;
ssl_certificate www.example.com.crt;
ssl_certificate_key www.example.com.key;
ssl_protocols TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2;
ssl_ciphers HIGH:!aNULL:!MD5;
location /rancher {
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Port $server_port;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection $connection_upgrade;
}
}
