Users real IP

[lupa18]

Hi ! how are you! I'm trying users can see their actual IP. I'm not sure if is a container nginx issue or my apache proxy configuration. Is it possible or make sense to add this configuration to nginx?

proxy_set_header  Host              $http_host;   # required for docker client's sake
proxy_set_header  X-Real-IP         $remote_addr; # pass on real client's IP
proxy_set_header  X-Forwarded-For   $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;

thanks in advance !

You should configure this in your balancer for more security. If you are using this in a secure environment, you can use this container as base and override the configuration

FROM erseco/alpine-moodle:beta
USER root
COPY ./nginx.conf /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
USER nobody

And modify the nginx.conf file to fit your needs

Best regards!
