Hi, I am currently running ghost on docker, with a load balancer in front of it, and I get this issue which I don’t understand:

ubuntu@qcloud:~/data/compose/ghost$ curl [https://blog.xoxox.io](https://blog.xoxox.io)  
Moved Permanently. Redirecting to [https://ghost/](https://ghost/)  
the following is the my settings of everything

Ghost Version: docker image: ghost:1-alpine

Ghost compose file:

blog:  
image: ghost:1-alpine  
restart: always  
ports:  
- 2368:2368  
volumes:  
- ~/data/docker\_volumes/ghost/content:/var/lib/ghost/content  
environment:  
- [MAIL\_FROM=will@xoxox.io](mailto:MAIL_FROM=will@xoxox.io)  
- url=[https://blog.xoxox.io](https://blog.xoxox.io)

Nginx compose file:

proxy:  
image: nginx  
ports:  
- “80:80”  
- “443:443”  
volumes:  
- ./certs:/etc/nginx/certs  
- ./conf.d/blog.xoxox.io.conf:/etc/nginx/conf.d/blog.xoxox.io.conf

Nginx conf:

upstream ghost {  
server [qcloud.xoxox.io:2368](http://qcloud.xoxox.io:2368);  
}  
server {  
server\_name [blog.xoxox.io](http://blog.xoxox.io);  
listen 80;  
return 301 https://$host$request\_uri;  
}  
server {  
server\_name [blog.xoxox.io](http://blog.xoxox.io);

```
listen 443 ssl http2;

ssl_protocols TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2;
ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/certs/blog.xoxox.io.crt;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/certs/blog.xoxox.io.key;

client_max_body_size 0;

location / {
	proxy_pass http://ghost;
}

```

}

PS: if I remove url environment variable, it goes right,  
- url=[https://blog.xoxox.io](https://blog.xoxox.io)  
but the blog site does not handle links right.

If you are running multiple instances of Ghost for the same blog that won’t work. From [the install docs](https://docs.ghost.org/docs/install):

 ![40](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/ghost2/original/2X/9/97811891cde728527ace135668ae9d463fced9eb.png)

> [@linxyfe](#):

> Nginx conf:

You’re nginx config is not passing the necessary headers through to Ghost so it won’t know what URL it’s serving. [Ghost-CLI](https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost-CLI) is the recommended/supported way to install Ghost, it has [nginx templates](https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost-CLI/blob/master/extensions/nginx/templates/) that you should follow if installing your own way.

according to docker-compose.yml of ghost, it runs just 1 instance. and the url nerver changed.

You’re good on the multi-instance side of things then but you’ll still need to fix your nginx config for Ghost to work correctly.

proxy\_set\_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy\_add\_x\_forwarded\_for;  
proxy\_set\_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;  
proxy\_set\_header X-Real-IP $remote\_addr;  
proxy\_set\_header Host $http\_host;  
nothing changes

Just to be sure, check where the node.js port is listening to, as well as your blog `sudo netstat -peanut`

Also why are you proxying to [ghost.org](http://ghost.org)?  
Try changing that to:

```auto
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:2368;  

```

where 2368 is the port where node is running or put whichever server you’re using

nginx is not on the same node which blog is deployed. nginx is deployed in USA, but blog is deployed in China, I am sure the blog is accessable, because if url is not set in the environment, redirect is successful.  
proxy\_pass [http://ghost](http://ghost);  
above line is just pointing to the upstream:  
upstream ghost {  
server [qcloud.xoxox.io:2368](http://qcloud.xoxox.io:2368);  
}

Looks like I’m having related issue: [https://forum.ghost.org/t/http-x-forwarded-proto-not-used-by-all-requests](https://forum.ghost.org/t/http-x-forwarded-proto-not-used-by-all-requests)

i.e. when i change the http to https in the json config (url variable) i see the same Moved Permanently status and infinite redirect loop in Chrome.
