Improve the reverse-proxies documentation #35231
Description
Description
While following the documentation for reverse-proxies I have configured my Nginx using the NginxProxyManager and ended with the same 400 bad request error as reported in #31141
For me it also helped to remove the proxy_set_header Host $host; directive and after quite a lot of searching I have found why.
The NginxProxyManager is adding some directives for a custom location by default and looks like Nginx is not happy if you specify the Host header twice.
Could you please update the documentation mentioning to only include following directives when using NginxProxyManager?
client_max_body_size 512M;
proxy_set_header Connection $http_connection;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
Or maybe just mention that 400 bad request might be caused by double definition of the proxy_set_header Host $host; coming from custom Nginx server configuration?
Whatever will help others that might stumble into the same trap 🤞
