Websocket with SSL reverse proxy is not working correctly

[item]

Hi,
i have my VM reverse proxy and VM espoCRM websocket working
for info : wan => vm proxy nginx:443 => vm espocrm apache:80
for info : i have a lan dns server and not same A/CNAME of wan dns server

if i see your config,.. your problem is here (at 98%):

    map $http_upgrade $connection_upgrade {
        default upgrade;
        '' close;
    }

    upstream websocket {
      server BACK_END_VM_IP:8080;  // it's open in firewall of backend vm where espocrm.
    }

  server {
    server_name mycrm.domain.be;  // domaine name of espocrm but it's ip of proxy : sample : mycrm.domain.be => ip of proxy
    set $upstream BACK_END_VM_IP;
    server_tokens off;

    location /wss {
        proxy_pass http://websocket;
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header Connection $connection_upgrade;
        proxy_read_timeout 12h;
    }​ 

So i just see in http log, status 101 Switching Protocol

For Brainstorm

requirement :
- espocrm site url must be https with domain for Office365 Extension and OAuth.

In my case, site url in espocrm setting is very important, and in my case. 443 => 80 is certainly the problem.


For your problem, i see : ESPOCRM_SITE_URL: "https://mydomain/" : so maybe try


ping https://mydomain
- it's ip of proxy or docker ? (docker i don't know)
- mydomain must be resolved somewhere !?
- ping from any computer in lan ?
- ping if you can ssh (docker) ... try add in host file..

for me, in espocrm admin setting site url must be resolved by ip of ReverseProxy ?

Maybe.

We have similar issue. We're using cloudflare proxy in dns websocket don't want to work in this configuration

Damnation

+1 : not find a solution too... try many.

client -> debian:nginx:443 -> centos/almalinux/debian:apache:80

My situation is very similar to yours

Any work around?

Hi everyone,

i have a problem connecting to the websocket in my espocrm instance.

WebSocket connection to 'wss://mydomain/?authToken=0586c18e2007cc616c1869bbd2282062&userId=63d912a067faaa322' failed:

The current setup is based on a docker container VM with FPM configuration (nginx-mysql-espocrm-websocket-daemon). The VM is behind a reverse proxy which handles the SSL connection; I followed the configuration reported in the documentation https://docs.espocrm.com/administrat...t/#ssl-support but the problem persists.

When the application was not behind the http reverse proxy everything works fine.

Can you help me? What's wrong?
