Only internal IP address in logs

[yusf]

In my app logs, I'm only presented with Docker's internal IP addresses, such as 172.18.0.1 and not ever end users' IPs. This poses various problems for me in maintaining app instances. I know this to be the issue with at least Matrix and Gitea.

Can this be solved so that real external IPs are shown?

@yusf The external ips may be in the cloudron proxy logs on the host itself.

For the app behind the proxy, the reverse proxy sets various headers to preserve that info: https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/box/-/blob/master/src/nginxconfig.ejs#L153

See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/X-Forwarded-For

If you use apache in your app, you can put something like this in the config:

    LogFormat "%{X-Forwarded-For}i %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\"" proxy
    CustomLog "|/bin/cat" proxy
    ErrorLog "|/bin/cat"

This is not a custom app, this is Gitea.

@yusf thanks, fixed in latest package.
