    Greetings everyone from a small balkan country named Macedonia 🙂

    I'm having some issues deploying Cloudron behind an apache2 proxy. This is my current setup:

    1. Public Gatekeeper Proxy Server > Cloudron VM in a separate location (we use VPN for interconnecting both DCs).
    2. The domain is proxied through Cloudflare.
    3. The error I get is: Too many redirects.

    So far, I've tried basically everything I can think of and spent days trying Google for a solution. I've used both Flexible and Strict SSL (I installed the certificate on the proxy server only) in Cloudflare. I turned off Cloudflare Proxy and set the domain to DNS-only mode.

    I also tried various configurations in the apache2 vhost. This is the one for port 80:

    <VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerAdmin contact@infoproject.biz
        ServerName hero.cloudron
        ServerAlias *.hero.cloudron
        ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
        CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
        ProxyRequests off
        SSLProxyEngine on
        ProxyPreserveHost on
        Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*"
     <Location />
            ProxyPass http://10.10.9.134/
            ProxyPassReverse http://10.10.9.134/
            Order allow,deny
            Allow from all
     </Location>
        RewriteEngine on
        RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*)\.hero\.cloudron$ [NC]
        RewriteRule ^ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [END,NE,R=permanent]
    </VirtualHost>
    

    And the one for port 443:

    <IfModule mod_ssl.c>
    <VirtualHost *:443>
        ServerAdmin info@hero.cloudron
        ServerName hero.cloudron
        ServerAlias *.hero.cloudron
        ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
        CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
        ProxyRequests off
        SSLProxyEngine on
        ProxyPreserveHost on
        Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*"
     <Location />
            ProxyPass http://10.10.9.134/
            ProxyPassReverse http://10.10.9.134/
            Order allow,deny
            Allow from all
     </Location>
       SSLEngine on
       SSLCertificateFile    /etc/ssl/certs/hero.cloudron-cf-origin-ca.pem
       SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/ssl/private/hero.cloudron-cf-private-key.key
    </VirtualHost>
    </IfModule>
    

    Any help is greatly appreciated. I really do not know what else to try and what else to do. The only way I can expose the Cloudron VM to a public IP with a domain is to proxy the requests.

    @heronymous there are some thread here with "nginx proxy manager" setup. Maybe you can look into those for ideas. For example, https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/5898/nginx-in-front-of-cloudron-install/ .https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/5898/nginx-in-front-of-cloudron-install/

    If the domain is proxied via Cloudflare: a request goes from browser -> Cloudflare -> Public Gatekeeper Proxy Server -> Cloudron ? Is that your setup?

    Hey! Thanks, for replying. Yes, that's exactly my setup:

    Browser -> Cloudflare -> Public Gatekeeper Proxy Server -> Cloudron

    I'm already using that same setup for many other services (proxying: Nextcloud, various APIs for our software etc...). All services are setup in exactly the same way: Domain is on cloudflare > the domain lands on the public IP of the gatekeeper proxy server > the requests are proxied to whatever VMs they need.

    I will also try later tonight to setup some headers (such as: X-Forwarded-Proto, X-Forwarded-For etc...)

    Unfortunately, I'm still at a loss. No matter what I do, I get the dreaded too_many_redirects error. Any suggestions will be appreciated (I've also tried about 50 different apache2 configurations). I can provide additional information if needed.

    Does Cloudron need any special headers redirected and proxied perhaps? Should I setup anything to the Cloudron VM (I've done a clean install, on a clean Ubuntu 22.04 VM).

    can you validate with nginx as the proxy instead?
