Nginx loadbalancer for external access

Hi to all,

I am in the process of allowing external access to workspace and as the install doc says that a loabalancer is required I have gone for the Nginx option.

The server is up and running. Nginx is also running with the SSL cert however I am facing a config issue as I just realized that it is rerouting traffic to http and not to https.

As the gateway can only be accessed through https I was wondering if anyone here a done a successful implementation of such loadbalancer reverse proxy to the gateway or simply knows enough nginx (Might post straight on their forum in fact)

I would really appreciate a hand on this as I am close to a solution. If anyone would be kind enough to share his config or at least send me an exemple that would be great otherwise I am going to scratch my head a bit more and it is already bleeding Smiley Happy

Cheers

Seb

After a bit of searching here and there came across that article that is made for View but that can be used also for workspace.

Had to modify the config a bit but got it up and running in no time.

Thanks for your answer but I no longer use an nginx lb.

Bought an F5 LTM instead Smiley Happy
