How to redirect a URL:PORT to URL

[IoSonoPiero]

Hello people,
I posted this request on Reddit before bothering here because sometimes I think people make things more complex.
Said that I could pay for support if needed.

I'm using Nginx Proxy Manager (NPM) in Docker to manage my domains and reverse proxy configurations.

I have an application that generates URLs with, for example, :8080 at the end, and unfortunately, I cannot modify this behaviour within the application itself.
For example:

• The application generates: https://example.fake-domain.com:8080
• I want it to redirect automatically to: https://example.fake-domain.com (without the port in the URL).

The current setup on Nginx Proxy Manager is as follows:

1. Proxy Host Configuration:
   • Domain Name: example.fake-domain.com
   • Scheme: HTTP
   • Forward Hostname/IP: my-app-container
   • Forward Port: 8080
   • Websockets Support: Enabled
   • Block Common Exploits: Enabled
2. SSL Settings:
   • Certificate is valid for example.fake-domain.com.
   • SSL options like "Force SSL" and "HTTP/2 Support" are currently disabled.

I tried to add in

• Advanced Settings:
  • port_in_redirect off;, in my mind, is to prevent Nginx from appending the port in redirects.
    And in this case, when I try to access:s https://example.fake-domain.com:8080, I encounter the following error:

Secure Connection Failed
SSL_ERROR_RX_RECORD_TOO_LONG

So, I'm looking for a way to:

1. Automatically redirect requests from https://example.fake-domain.com:8080 to https://example.fake-domain.com.
2. Avoid at all that specific port in a more complex URL like: https://example.fake-domain.com:8080/something.html to https://example.fake-domain.com/something.html

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Did you solve this? Im having the same issue but with port 8443 (Custom HTTPS port), i need to redirect all of my domains with https://example.com:8443 but i want only to redirect the domain https://example.com

Any help would be nice

Forgot to mention, but in my port section in the compose file it's configured like this "- 8443:443"

Nope, I'm sorry.
