<title> Serving behind reverse proxy </title>

<para>

To serve hydra web server behind reverse proxy like

<emphasis>nginx</emphasis> or <emphasis>httpd</emphasis> some

additional configuration must be made.

</para>

<para>

Edit your <literal>hydra.conf</literal> file in a similar way to

this example:

<screen>

using_frontend_proxy 1

base_uri example.com</screen>

<literal>base_uri</literal> should be your hydra servers proxied URL.

If you are using Hydra nixos module then setting <literal>hydraURL</literal>

option should be enough.

</para>

<para>

If you want to serve Hydra with a prefix path, for example

<ulink>http://example.com/hydra</ulink> then you need to configure your

reverse proxy to pass <literal>X-Request-Base</literal> to hydra, with

prefix path as value.

For example if you are using nginx, then use configuration similar to following:

<screen>

server {

listen 433 ssl;

server_name example.com;

.. other configuration ..

location /hydra/ {

proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:3000;

proxy_redirect http://127.0.0.1:3000 https://example.com/hydra;

proxy_set_header Host $host;

proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;

proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;

proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;

proxy_set_header X-Request-Base /hydra;

}

}</screen>
