Hello, I'm not sure where to begin, whether this is the right subforum or not but I'll try to be as clear as possible.

 

I have compiled nginx package for slackware since I wanted a reverse proxy that worked even when the array is stopped. Build, installation and configuration had been fine. nginx is working 100%.

There's only one problem... the GUI doesn't ask for password!! It just goes straight in.

 

This is how my site is configured:

 

server {
listen 8000;
listen 4430 ssl;

server_name fqdn.mydomain.whatever tower.mylocaldomain.whatever;

ssl_certificate /boot/config/nginx/certs/my.pem;
ssl_certificate_key /boot/config/nginx/certs/my.key;

proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Server $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;

location / {
	proxy_pass			http://localhost;
}
}

 

I can change the proxy_pass directive to this:

 

location / {
	proxy_pass			http://tower;
}

 

Still no password asked.

 

But, if I change the proxy_pass directive to this:

 

location / {
	proxy_pass			http://tower.mylocaldomain.whatever;
}

 

Then it asks for password. What am I missing? Is it a security bug on unRAID side?

Partly a bump, but thought I'd ask for a little more detail.  Is this compiled as a package or part of a Docker?  How and where is it installed?

I compiled it as a Slackware package, it's not a docker. It stays under /boot/extra , the folder that unRAID looks up for installing additional packages at startup. Then I made some modifications to make the configuration work from boot/config/nginx so that modifications don't need to be copied over to etc/nginx , although I copy nginx.conf at startup

Yep, that's it. unRAID don't ask credentials when accessed within the localhost.
