it work ok but while if I search anything I am getting message "Too Many Requests".

I found work around to turn limiter plugin off in settings.yml

limiter: false

but I dont want to turn off as this is public domain

please help.

Rahul

I assume you have to set some proxy header (see http tab)::

# see limiter.py
proxy_set_header   X-Real-IP        $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header   X-Forwarded-For  $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;

After reading above post and help from "https://hub.docker.com/r/nginxproxy/nginx-proxy" section "Custom Nginx Configuration" I have added /etc/nginx/proxy.conf in nginx-proxy container with containt as below but i am still getting same error, am I doing right

# HTTP 1.1 support
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_buffering off;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection $proxy_connection;
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 $proxy_x_forwarded_proto;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Ssl $proxy_x_forwarded_ssl;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Port $proxy_x_forwarded_port;
