It's not impossible and I was basically able to set it up in 5 minutes. Just use a setup similar to this and make sure the ports match:
server {
server_name overleaf.example.com;
location / {
proxy_pass https://localhost:444/;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Port $server_port;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
proxy_read_timeout 10m;
proxy_send_timeout 10m;
}
add_header Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=31536000; includeSubdomains;";
server_tokens off;
client_max_body_size 50M;
# I am using Certbot, so it automatically added these.
# You don't need to use it - but it works quite well for me.
listen 443 ssl; # managed by Certbot
ssl_certificate /path/to/fullchain.pem; # managed by Certbot
ssl_certificate_key /path/to/privkey.pem; # managed by Certbot
include /path/to/options-ssl-nginx.conf; # managed by Certbot
ssl_dhparam /path/to/ssl-dhparams.pem; # managed by Certbot
}
It's great that there is a well built mechanism for running a stand-alone instance of sharelatex, but for those wanting to spin it up in a docker container and use an existing nginx reverse-proxy setup (such as one would want to do on a home server), this is a real pain in the neck. What should be a 5 minute job is basically impossible.
