Too many redirects behind a reverse proxy in https.

[Iska13FR]

With kobo-install setup, none of the services(kf/kc/ee) are reachable behind a reverse proxy due to an error too many redirects.

After several day of analyse, i finaly found that a config tmpl file for nginx has the wrong value for a variable.

kobo-docker/nginx/kobo-docker-scripts/templates/include.https_redirection.conf.tmpl

Line 7 in 57823c3

set $redirect_https "O";

set $redirect_https "O"; shoud be set $redirect_https "OK";

After this modification in the template i was able to restart nginx and all the services were accessible.

hello @Iska13FR,

I think your setup is missing something. This configuration "set $redirect_https "O"; is there in purpose and does work correctly with our production setup.

I guess your are using your own reverse proxy and you are not passing http_x_forwarded_proto header with your reverse proxy.
