Reverse proxy2.x

Containers on the same Docker network (Arrs, media servers) can keep using http://infinidysk:3000 directly. A reverse proxy is for reaching infinidysk from elsewhere.

Proxy everything to port 3000: the UI, the SABnzbd API, WebDAV and playback links all share it. Serve infinidysk at the root of its own host name; a sub-path such as /infinidysk is not supported. A minimal Caddy example:

infinidysk.example.com {
reverse_proxy infinidysk:3000
}

Set Public URL under Settings > System > Network to the address the proxy serves, for example https://infinidysk.example.com. infinidysk uses it in:

  • the webhooks it registers in your Arrs. Without a public URL it uses the address the Arr already uses for the download client, and asks for one when Arrs use different addresses;
  • the playback links in .strm files. The STRM import strategy needs a public URL.

infinidysk reads the client address from X-Forwarded-For only when the request comes from a trusted proxy. Local and private network ranges are trusted by default; set Trusted proxies under Settings > System > Network to narrow that.

The client address decides who reads a file and whether a request counts as local for sign-in.

Send X-Forwarded-Proto: https from the proxy so the sign-in cookie is marked secure. Caddy sends both headers by default.

Choose when the UI asks for a password under Settings > System > Access > Sign-in: always, except on the local network, or never. Use Always when infinidysk is reachable from the internet.

WebDAV has its own login; see WebDAV.
