Require some help migrating to Nginx please

[bobokun]

Hi, I'm hoping to get some help with migrating media serving from gunicorn to nginx using Unraid. I've been trying to follow the instructions found here however I'm not sure what is wrong with my config and also I'm not sure where to add the these environment variables to or what needs to be entered there. Is is like this?

VIRTUAL_HOST= recipes.mydns.com
LETSENCRYPT_HOST= recipes.mydns.com
LETSENCRYPT_EMAIL= [email protected]

Here is my configuration for my containers

Container name: recipes
Repository: vabene1111/recipes

Container name: nginx_recipes
Repository: linuxserver/nginx

Recipes.conf

server {
  listen 80;
  server_name localhost;

  client_max_body_size 16M;

  # serve media files
  location /media/ {
    alias /media/;
  }
  # pass requests for dynamic content to gunicorn
  location / {
	
    proxy_set_header Host $host;
    proxy_pass http://recipes:8080;
  }
}

Going to system version everything seems to be okay but I don't see any of my images.

Hmm this looks pretty correct to me 🤔
I am not very familiar with the unraid setup tough .. maybe @CorneliousJD can help, i know he answers some questions over on the unraid forum ...

I actually directed them here because I wasn't able to provide the help required to get this working, and would personally just leave it on Guincorn serving the media to keep it simple for the unraid container.

Sorry!

no worries, you are not obligated to provide support for anything, just tought you might already know the solution :) thanks btw for helping so many people

I'm hoping @stormsz can help chime in too since he created the initial commit for the recipes reverse proxy on the swag container. I assume you got it working?

I'm having this same issue. I've got everything working on Swag and using postgresql but the images aren't loading. I'm using the same config as @bobokun .

When I set gunicorn to 1, the images load when i load the webui via my local IP address. But when i use my reverse proxy, it doesn't seem to work.

[vabene1111]

using gunciorn as the media server should work no matter if there are any reverse proxies in front of it or not.

As i do now have an unraid setup and @CorneliousJD who is very skilled with it and also know this application quite well cannot help you i fear that i do not know how to provide further support.

I can just generally say that media files are stored inside a mediafiles directory (which looks like you mounted correctly) and that those files need to be served at http://recipedomain.tld/media/recipes/filename.png (i just wrote that here without looking it up, take a look at the broken image for the exact path)

I'm just seeing constant timeout .

[2021-01-19 22:24:18 +0000] [1] [CRITICAL] WORKER TIMEOUT (pid:12)

That is odd. That's what mine looks like without the worker timeout. Is there anything above this that shows the docker connecting to postgres?

[Foxhound4444]

@bobokun also i had to change my postgresql docker set to "host" instead of "bridge" so that the database can be reached locally by the recipe container. Otherwise, the postgresql docker didn't have any IP address. Then in your Recipe docker, set your "PostgreSQL Host" to your local ip address for your server (192.168.1.100) and leave the PostgreSQL port the same as long as you haven't changed that.

[bobokun]

yeah it can connect to PostgreSQL just fine, everything works perfectly locally but times out when trying to reach it through my subdomain reverse proxy

[Foxhound4444]

Is Swag loading the .config file in the log? Mine wasn't in the beginning for some reason. Had to change from using swag's config for recipes to the one listed here in the github (i added the 443 port at the top as you can see in the file i attached earlier)

[bobokun]

Okay I got it working!! I've attached my working config for swag.
recipes.subdomain.conf.txt

One thing you need to add in your swag container is a mapping to your media/recipes folder

Also one thing to note is I couldn't get it to work until I changed my Allowed Hosts key to *

When I added my subdomain and my IP address it didn't work. Only * allowed my reverse proxy to work.

I hope this helps! Thank you for everyone who contributed to helping!

[Foxhound4444]

Thank you for sharing the fix!! Got mine properly working as well :)

[vabene1111]

If you want feel free to open a PR to the docs to explain how to setup an additional reverse proxy for the unraid image :)

otherwise i will just link this conversation which is probably already quite good.
