That awkward moment when I spend two days configuring my proxy server and nothing works, I just try calling my server base url and that shit works O_O

That's a good start for a monday

@Linux if you don't mind me asking, to route from proxy server to other servers I had to edit hosts file so that nginx has this:

server_name xyz.com

How can I make two nginx talk with https on same local network? I found online to use something as the default Ubuntu cert by downloading ssl-cert package, is it good enough?

Communication has to be in https cuz I'm using scaleway local network not sure who might be listening on that network

@gitpush
Why isnt working now?

@Linux it is working now but I'm using an already generated Lets Encrypt certificate, the servers behind the proxy will go offline (no public IP) so Lets Encrypt is not a good solution IMO

@gitpush
The traffic is still encrypted :)

Otherwhise, issue a self Signed cert

@Linux so as a conclusion, it doesn't matter what cert I use (self signed, Let's Encrypt ...etc) the thing is just to use a cert right? I don't have to do anything else?

Last question, didn't look for it yet tbh, but if I use https://IP/xyz

instead of

https://url/xyz

in nginx when doing: proxy_pass, will it work?

I don't like the fact I modified hosts file lol

If you can issue a self signed certificate and trust your own CA on both server it will be the most painless in the future :)

@Linux ok I will look into that thanks man :D

@Linux if you don't mind me asking, now that I have all my servers without a public IP, and have only one with nginx that handles redirecting, does this effect performance when requesting url of a website on an offline server?

@gitpush
It should not affect the performance at all :)

@Linux great, thanks man 😀
