Using nginx reverse proxy with SSL termination

@thatcherk1 wrote:

I have a reverse-proxy nginx server setup to direct traffic to a few different servers that I run. Kaltura is one of them. I’ve got a fresh install CentOS Kaltura 15. I followed the non-SSL instructions because I’m hanving my nginx rev-proxy terminate the SSL with HTTP/80 behind the proxy to Kaltura.

The install runs perfectly in HTTP when I bypass the reverse proxy. When I move the server behind the reverse proxy I changed http to https on all local.ini, system.ini, var.ini, admin.ini.
With these changes I can access Kaltura, but some things aren’t working:
Admin Console hangs when saving a Publisher’s Configuration
KMC will upload video, but won’t encode
Dropfolders won’t upload
Thumbnails won’t show.

Various other things are broken I’m sure.

I’m wondering if there are other things I need to do to my configurations to get it working. I read something about how I need to point some things to the local url (video.home), while other things I point to my external url (video.thatcherkelley.com)

For refernce, here is my server block on my nginx reverse proxy:

Kaltura Site

server {
	listen 443 ssl;
	server_name  encoder.thatcherkelley.com;
	include ssl_common.conf;
	location / {
 		proxy_pass http://10.0.1.43;
 		proxy_redirect off;
 		proxy_set_header Host $host;
 		proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
 		proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
 		proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host;
		proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
		client_max_body_size 0;
 	}
}
