Discourse get real IP Address behind Fastly

renoirb commented 9 years ago

It seems that the IP address doesn’t pass through to Discourse, yet.

This is unexpected work item, I thought the information was going through.

Possible causes

Discourse expects X-Forwarded-For with only one entry. No need to change Fastly at all, not even to add a header
Discourse reads from another header; correct.
NGINX at frontend rewrites header; nothing special to do here
NGINX inside Discourse container rewrites header; the container’s NGINX server handles it all
TIme estimate
Initial: 4h
Dependencies
Parent webplatform/ops#152

Solved. Problem was caused by the fact that Discourse already has what’s needed. See my comments in meta.discourse.org/t/enable-a-cdn-for-your-discourse
