Problem with public facing links

[bpivk]

I have deployed keila on a server which hosts it under: mailing.something.com

The ports on the docker are 4000 as default.

My problem is that even the text Powered by [Keila - OpenSource Newsletters] adds the port to my server. That means that all the links become mailing.something.com:4000.

How do I omit the port?

[bpivk]

Fixed. In my case it was down to two parameters that I had to edit.

Glad you found a solution! For anyone else looking for a solution to this: You can configure URL_PORT and URL_SCHEME for your Keila instance. See https://www.keila.io/docs/configuration

That was part of my problem. My docker was set to 4000:4000 as per default and that was messing my installation up. PORT was the variable needed and it had to be set from 4000 as default to 443. Then I had to set the docker container to forward 443 as 4000 (443 is taken) and it started working. If the port is set to 4000 then even if my proxy was handling the app it still appended the port. Thus making something.com to something.com:4000

I hope it's clear for anyone else that has issues.

No need to use 443 as the internal port! Just set URL_SCHEMA to https. This will also correctly URL_PORT (which can be independent from PORT and which you could simply leave at 4000).

URL_PORT is for the outward-facing links generated by Keila, PORT is only the internally used port in the Docker container.

Then this happens:

This is with URL_SCHEMA and URL_HOST set. These are the only two settings and it breaks the link.

So this is the output when I check logs: Access KeilaWeb.Endpoint at http://xxx.xxxx.net:4000

And when I add PORT it works even when I remove URL_SCHEMA: Access KeilaWeb.Endpoint at https://xxx.xxxx.net

What if you just set URL_PORT?

[wmnnd]

This is the logic that Keila uses to set port and schema:

url_host = System.get_env("URL_HOST")
url_port = System.get_env("URL_PORT") |> maybe_to_int.()
url_schema = System.get_env("URL_SCHEMA")
url_path = System.get_env("URL_PATH")

url_port =
  cond do
    url_port not in [nil, ""] -> url_port
    url_schema == "https" -> 443
    true -> System.get_env("PORT") |> maybe_to_int.() || 4000
  end

url_schema =
  cond do
    url_schema not in [nil, ""] -> url_schema
    url_port == 443 -> "https"
    true -> "http"
  end

So setting URL_SCHEMA=https (case sensitive!) is really all you need.
