Good morning everyone - I've been trying to get my calibre server to work behind a reverse proxy, however I've been having various issues.

This setup that I've done has worked for other services (e.g. couchpotato).

Ideally I'll get it running being a ssl connection, but my first goal is to get it working so I can access it via:

http://calibre.local
http://home.local/calibre

These are my nginix configs:


This config is commented out - eventually it'll redirect http://calibre.local to https://calibre.local

#server {
# listen 80;
# server_name calibre.local;
# return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri;
#
# access_log /var/log/nginx/sites/calibre/access.80.log;
# error_log /var/log/nginx/sites/calibre/error.80.log info;
#}

Right now this is a normal http proxy - eventually will be ssl

server {
listen 80;
# listen 443 ssl;
server_name calibre.local;

location / {
proxy_pass http://192.168.0.199:8080/;
proxy_redirect http://192.168.0.199:8080/calibre/ /;
#proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto https;

access_log /var/log/nginx/sites/calibre/access.443.log;
error_log /var/log/nginx/sites/calibre/error.443.log info;
}
}

My home.local config - obviously http://home.local/calibre won't work

server {
listen 80 default;
listen 443 ssl;
server_name home.local;

access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log;
error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log;

if ( $scheme = http )
{
rewrite ^ https://$server_name$request_uri? permanent;
}

include /etc/nginx/conf.d/ssl.conf;

location / {
root /var/www/intranet;
index index.html index.htm;
access_log /var/log/nginx/sites/intranet/access.log;
error_log /var/log/nginx/sites/intranet/error.log;
}

# Calibre doesn't support HTTPS?
# location /calibre {
# include /etc/nginx/conf.d/proxy.conf;
# proxy_pass https://192.168.0.199:8080/calibre;
# access_log /var/log/nginx/sites/calibre/access.log;
# error_log /var/log/nginx/sites/calibre/error.log info;
# }
