Tutor & Nginx Proxy Manager (External web proxy)

Site Operators Tutor Help
1

I’ve installed Tutor via the docker setup, but I’m having issues getting it running behind my web proxy (I host other web services on the same IP/domain)
I have run “tutor config save --set ENABLE_WEB_PROXY=false --set CADDY_HTTP_PORT=81” and forwarded lms.domain.com and lmsadmin.domain.com to the internal IP & port 81
I think my issue lies here: “You should set up a reverse proxy to localhost:CADDY_HTTP_PORT from the following hosts: LMS_HOST, PREVIEW_LMS_HOST, CMS_HOST, as well as any additional host exposed by your plugins.”
I’m not sure what forwarding to these hosts means, so I basically just have NGINX Proxy manager forwarding the traffic.
Links to images do show https, ex: https://lms.domain.com/asset-v1:Packt+101+1+type@asset+block@images_course_image.jpg
Right now my main issue is when I attempt to open a course I get taken to https://lms.domain.com/None/course/course-v1:Packt+101+1/home and a page not found error.
I’d appreciate any assistance I could get, I’m sure it’s due to my lack of understanding the host but I’ve searched here and haven’t found a way to allow those.

Please share the Tutor version you are using.

It looks like you have not enabled the MFE plugin.

You can take a look at your Caddyfile at this location $(tutor config printroot)/env/apps/caddy/Caddyfile to find the configuration for those hosts.

Until version 10 of Tutor, Regis provided configuration files for using Apache as well as Nginx as proxy.

Please take a look at:

and

I myself am using Apache as proxy, the relevant lines in config.yml:

CADDY_HTTP_PORT: 127.0.0.1:444
CMS_HOST: studio.domain.tld
ENABLE_HTTPS: true
ENABLE_WEB_PROXY: false
LMS_HOST: domain.tld

and my complete reverse proxy setup (maybe it’ll help you) I described here under point 2:

This may have been part of the issue, I was getting an error when running like the “tutor config save” regarding a dependency for MFE.
I have reinstalled Tutor on Debian instead of Ubuntu and did not run into the same issue.

Here’s the steps I took to install in case they help

  1. Install Debian 5.10.127-2
  2. Install Docker Engine following Install Docker Engine on Debian | Docker Documentation
  3. Added my user to the docker group
    sudo groupadd docker | sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
  4. Installed Tutor v14.0.4 from package following Installing Tutor — Tutor documentation
  5. Rebooted !important
  6. Ran tutor config save --interactive
    Prod, & yes to SSL
    LMS: lms.domain.com
    CMS: lmsadmin.domain.com
  7. Ran tutor config save --set ENABLE_WEB_PROXY=false ENABLE_HTTPS=true CADDY_HTTP_PORT=81
  8. Ran tutor local quickstart
  9. Let it go through it’s things
  10. Added lms.domain.com, lmsadmin.domain.com, and apps.lms.domain.com to my Nginx Proxy Manager docker on UNRAID, pointed to HTTP://SERVERIP:81
  11. Generated a certificate for these sites, and verified external connectivity and functionality!
