Caprover Reverse Proxy Configuration

[kaaax0815]

What Upstream Address should I use when trying to use Caprover Nginx Reverse Proxy? Because I cannot simple use caddy, because port is already in use. But I found I can't use localhost, because it would point to it own container.

Do you know what Upstream Address I should use?
bind-addr: 127.0.0.1:8053

I tried localhost, 127.0.0.1 and <server-ip> and but they wont work

I have the Nginx Reverse Proxy Docker Container from Caprover, and Code-server is running baremetal on the host.

For the NGINX container to be able to proxy to something else on the same host I think you'll have to set up a network or use docker-compose which automatically creates a private network between the services. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38378635/nginx-as-reverse-proxy-on-another-container-how-to-configure-the-config-files

But I think this requires code-server to also be in a container.

You could also probably use --net=host on the NGINX container and then I think it'll be able to see other ports on the host.

Lastly, you should be able to use the docker0 interface to access ports on the host system. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31324981/how-to-access-host-port-from-docker-container

Thanks for the help, I asked Caprover if their is a way to use the --net=host-Parameter.
Because I would need to reinstall e.g. pip every time...

Fixed it my setting bind-addr: to IP from docker0 and Port. Then Nginx could reach it
