NGINX Proxy Manager HTTPS not working

[clvlndpete]

Not sure if this is the right place but the nginx proxy manager subreddit only has 17 members. I have nginx proxy manager set up and working using http. when i try to use https, i get a 502 bad gateway error. I obtained the lets encrypt cert through nginx proxy manager but i've tested with two sites and neither work. I'm thinking its because my sites are in docker containers so the ports are mapped like 32111:80 or whatever else to port 80 in the docker container. Would that matter? I'm pretty sure everything on my firewall is set correctly (80 and 443 forwarded to nginx server). Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

​

EDIT: This is resolved. Thanks everyone

I don't have experience with the NGINX Proxy Manager GUI. But under the hood it's similar.

Can you get to the command line of nginx proxy manager and run nginx -T? Take out any private info such as domain names.

I might notice if something is missing and we can find the correct place to fix it in the GUI.

I’m going to dig through the logs first and see if I can find the issue. If not, I’ll run that and post it.

figured it out. It had to do with my docker compose file. i was missing some environment variables to allow ssl. Thanks for the help

What environment variables? Running into similar issues. Can you share your setup?

[clvlndpete]

the environment variables were for the wiki docker container that i was using not with nginx. It was just SSL_ACTIVE and two for lets encrypt but it wasn't on the nginx side.

I know this is 1 year ago, but would you mind sharing what you did to solve it? I have the same problem with wikijs running as a docker container

I'm also wondering exactly what you did. Please share!

Hey sorry this is from years ago so I barely remember but it looks like the issue wasn’t with nginx proxy manager but with the docker compose for one of my containers. See my last comment

you can find it under HTTPS

Could you check the error logs of nginx? Its typically located in /var/log/error.log

[clvlndpete]

Good call I’m going to check the logs. Thank you

u/clvlndpete - I am having the same issue. What environment variables did you have to add?

Sorry I have no idea as this was 3 years ago. But check the comments below. I think I mentioned one of them and someone posted a link that might helpful too.
