Configure Crucible with nginx reverse proxy and SSL

[Gregory Johnson]

Wrote a question and it disappeared somehow, so if this is a duplicate post, apologies.

I'm running Crucible in Docker, and have an nginx reverse proxy (https-portal) in front of it.

My nginx config is generated:

server {
 listen 443 ssl http2;
 server_name crucible.myserver.com;

ssl on;
 ssl_certificate /var/lib/https-portal/crucible.myserver.com/production/chained.pem;
 ssl_certificate_key /var/lib/https-portal/crucible.myserver.com/production/domain.key;

ssl_protocols TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2;
 ssl_session_cache shared:SSL:50m;
 ssl_ciphers ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:DHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA384:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA:DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA:DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA;
 ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;

ssl_dhparam /var/lib/https-portal/dhparam.pem;

# Prevent Nginx from leaking the first TLS config
 if ($host != $server_name) {
 return 444;
 }


 location / {
 
 proxy_pass http://crucible_crucible_1:8080;
 
 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;


 }
 
}

My crucible config for my web-server is currently empty, which works if I access the application outside of the context of my reverse proxy (ie: if I turn it off), and use http and port 8080:

<web-server>
 <http bind=":8080" />
</web-server>

However, I want to access it as https://crucible.myserver.com.

Thank you in advance.

Go to https://crucible.example.com/admin/viewServerSettings.do

Set the following:

Proxy scheme https
Proxy host crucible.example.com
Proxy port 443
Site URL https://crucible.example.com

The config.xml would be:

<web-server site-url="https://crucible.example.com">
<http bind=":8060" proxy-host="crucible.example.com" proxy-port="443" proxy-scheme="https"/>
</web-server>

This worked out great!  Thanks.  Strange since I think I had tried multiple combinations of the above, but I guess I never quite landed on the correct one.

I configured the nginx for Ubuntu 16.04, Can someone show me the default setting?

/etc/nginx/sites-available/default

Thanks!
