Getting a nginx reverse proxy to work with plex - nginx

Question

Since a recent update of plex, my reverxe proxy for plex stopped working. I tried searching all around, but I didn't find much info. Listed below is the config file, does anyone have plex and know what goes wrong? I simply get served with a 404 not found page
server {
listen 80;
if ($http_referer ~* /plex/) {
rewrite ^/web/(.*) /plex/$1? redirect;
}
root /var/www;
location /plex/ {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:32400/web/;
}
location /plexapi/ {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:32400/;
}
}

Answer 1

Here is mine which works perfectly:
server {
listen 443;
server_name plex.mydoamin.com ;
satisfy any;
ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/mydomain.com/fullchain.pem;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/mydomain.com/privkey.pem;
location = / {
rewrite ^ /web/;
proxy_redirect http:// $scheme://;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
}
location / {
proxy_pass http://192.168.1.14:32400/;
proxy_redirect http:// $scheme://;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
index index.html index.htm;
}
}

Some things to check:
Run `sudo netstat -nlp | grep ':32400' to make sure there is still something running on the expected port.
From withing the machine running Nginx and Plex, try connecting directly to the URL. Both of these should work: `curl http://127.0.0.1:32400/ and curl http://127.0.0.1:32400/web/ ;
If any of these tests fail, the problem with Plex and not Nginx. In which case, you post your Plex configurations.
It's also a good idea to check the Changelog for Plex. Are there mentions in the Changelog if changes that might be problematic for you since the last time you updated Plex?
