App Proxy set host header

[rosano]

@girish said in Cloudron 7.6 released:

app proxy: Host header is set to match the proxy domain instead of the target domain

I think this change broke my App Proxy for Plausible analytics. Would be nice to have the previous behaviour (or fork the older version).

@rosano so your plausible is running with a different domain with https and you are proxying from cloudron with another domain name ?

Before we made this change, I studied the behavior of other proxies as well. See https://github.com/NginxProxyManager/nginx-proxy-manager/issues/127 where the default is same as Cloudron's.

they recommend setting the Host header to plausible.io, for example with nginx. I suppose that's what the App Proxy was doing before the update. I imagine it's not the direction Cloudron is going, in which case a hostable fork of the previous version would be amazing.

@rosano interesting. I guess this is a way to beat CNAME cloaking for analytics. This is indeed not the purpose of the App Proxy (i.e it's not meant to proxy external sites).
