Hestiacp behind a proxy

Community Support

Hi,
I am trying to setup Hestia behind a pfsense haproxy proxy.
I understand that hestia has an nginx proxy build in, but I need to be behind another proxy(ip address sharing and multiple servers)
I am able to load the site, except that for the visitor address, i get the proxy address.
and when I try to pull the visitor ip address with php ($_SERVER[“HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR”]) i get two addresses, I get the Visitor IP and the Proxy address.

How do I change the http_x_forwarded_for value to only return the single visitor public ip address?

This is a new install with this as the install settings:

sudo bash hst-install.sh --apache yes --phpfpm yes --multiphp no --vsftpd no --proftpd no --named no --mysql yes --postgresql no --exim yes --dovecot no --clamav no --spamassassin no --iptables no --fail2ban no --quota no --api yes --interactive yes --with-debs no --port 8083 --hostname serverName --email [email protected] --password something --lang en

Thank you

Open port 8080 and 8443 and forward the traffic straight to that…

I was thinking of doing this, to bypass the nginx proxy, but wont that cause any issues with hestia?
