Real IP not forwarded to app container

Hi there!

I use interlock to manage serveral web apps on the same host.

For one app I need the real ip address of the visitor to be passed to the app container. But neither the reverse nginx nor the app container see the real ip. On both I get 172.18.0.1.

As I understand the nginx.conf.template the real ip should be forwarded...

Could it be a bug or is it just bad configured on my side?

Thanks in advance for any hint, ~D

Here's my configuration:

docker-compose.yml

version: "2"

services:
    interlock:
        image: ehazlett/interlock:1.2.0
        command: run -c /etc/interlock/config.toml

I had a look into the docker-compose logs again and found something strange that might be a hint.

This snippet logs one (and only one) site request. In all lines but one you see the docker-ip (172.17.0.1). In the 5th line suddenly my real IP appears.

Any idea or hint or further question is welcome.
