Self hosting Dolos using docker-compose

Which component(s) is your question about? Self-hosting Dolos web app

What is your question? Hello! We here at Aalto are having some difficulties hosting Dolos on our own servers at the moment. We are trying to use the docker-compose method to host it. We are using nginx as well for this setup. Currently we are able to open up the web front end and submit a file for analysis. It manages to complete the analysis succesfully (most of the time) but when we try to open up the report it tries to fetch the report from the wrong place for some reason. Instead of going through https://DOLOS_URL/api/reports it tries to get the report from http://DOLOS_URL/reports. This happens despite us settings the VITE_API_URL to the https.

Our current nginx.conf looks like this:

events {}

http {

    upstream dolos-api {
        server api:3000;
    }

    upstream dolos-web {
        server web:8080;
    }

    server {
        listen 80;
        server_name {INSERT DOLOS URL HERE};

        location / {
            return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
        }
    }

    server {
        listen 443 ssl;
        server_name {INSERT DOLOS URL HERE};

        ssl_certificate /etc/ssl/private/fullchain.pem;
        ssl_certificate_key /etc/ssl/private/privkey.pem;

        location /{
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host;
            proxy_pass http://dolos-web/;
        }

        location /api {
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host;
            proxy_pass http://dolos-api/;
        }
    }
}

And our current docker-compose looks like this
