Cloudron 7.3 - not able to install new Proxy App

[arshsahzad]

While Installing the new Proxy App, I'm getting the below error

Error : Nginx Error - Error reloading nginx: reload exited with code 1 signal null

Logs:

After the server reboot, Nginx was not able to restart, So, I deleted the file

0dfcd907-afca-4e38-8353-6a8d921357d2.conf:137

and restarted the Nginx, now working as usual, Are there any docs for the Proxy App?

@arshsahzad probably a typo in the .conf file.

If you can reproduce it, post the contents.

I was getting the same NGINX Error also. The documentation was posted: https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/#app-proxy. But I see that I didn't specify a port, so that may have caused the issue.

I entered something like https://176.94.133.186:8080 as upstream URI, got a cert, DNS and the proxy works. However, the proxyapp is stuck in "Starting" state even after a app restart or server reboot. Last lines from the proxyapp log:

In 7.3.0, the app proxy is not working correctly. Please update to 7.3.1 and it should work on that.

@girish updated to 7.3.1 and proxyapp is still stuck in starting. Log output is the same. I reinstalled the app after the update just to be sure. Not a huge problem though because the proxy is working but you cant click the dashboard icon ^^

@subven Ah! the healthcheck code indeed won't work if the upstream is using self-signed certs.

I will get the healthcheck fixed in 7.3.2. Note that nginx is configured correctly to handle self-signed certs which is why the proxy itself works.

Fixed in https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/box/-/commit/84ba333aa11fe7d0e2ae00d2b1437efc27a876b4
