I’m trying to run a hedgedoc with its db and be able to access it via a nginx reverse proxy but I have some problems of comprehension.
I want hedgedoc and my reverse proxy to be on separate networks but still be able to communicate
But it doesn’t work. When I go to hedgedoc.localhost:8080 it shows me the nginx welcome page
And hedgedoc.localhost:3000 shows me the hedgedoc page but without any js
My docker compose file:
version: "3"
services:

The nginx default.conf:
map $http_upgrade $connection_upgrade {
default upgrade;
'' close;
}
server {
server_name hedgedoc.localhost;
location / {
proxy_pass http://hedgedoc:3000;
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 /socket.io/ {
proxy_pass http://hedgedoc:3000;
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;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection $connection_upgrade;
}
listen 8080;
}
I have these questions:
How does nginx know how to access hedgedoc ? Via its hostname hedgedoc ?
How does the localhost of the network_reverse_proxy differ from the localhost of network_hedgedoc?
Why it doesn’t work ?
Still new to all of this, so sorry if these are silly questions
Ps:sorry for my english
Although in your example the proxy and the hedgedoc container has a common network, so it should work…
