server {

# listen 80 default_server;

# listen [::]:80 default_server;

listen 443 ssl;

server_name wiki.domain.com;

ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/wiki.domain.com/fullchain.pem;

ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/wiki.domain.com/privkey.pem;

ssl_protocols TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2;

ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;

ssl_dhparam /etc/ssl/certs/dhparam.pem;

ssl_ciphers 'EECDH+AESGCM:EDH+AESGCM:AES256+EECDH:AES256+EDH';


location ~ /.well-known {

root /var/www/letsencrypt;

allow all;

}

`# Add index.php to the list if you are using PHP`

`index index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;`



location / {

proxy_pass http://192.168.3.190:8080/;

proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;

proxy_set_header Host $host;

proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;

I replied on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/matu7d/bookstack_reverse_proxy_nginx/grus6rm/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

Let me know if neither of those apply and we'll have to start digging into the browser devtools to understand where those requests are going.
