Fauxton and reverse proxies

[Paul Milner]

Hello

In one of my environments I have a couch cluster setup behind load
balancers and nginx reverse proxies. When I try to use fauxton it doesn't
work. The databases fail to load. Can you tell me how I can find out how to
set this up properly please? Is there any documentation anywhere?

Thanks a lot
Paul

We have a similar setup with nginx but not a cluster.

When you load Fauxton in Chrome, show the developer tools and look at
which network requests fail, if any.

We found we had to add `_session` and others (from memory) to the reverse
proxy settings, but your issue may be different.

If that doesn't work, maybe post specific errors here?

Hi!

Here's a link:

https://docs.couchdb.org/en/stable/best-practices/reverse-proxies.html#reverse-proxying-with-nginx

If this does not work, you may have to provide more information about your
setup to receive proper help.



Best regards,
Sinan

Hello there

thanks a lot for the quick and useful replies as ever.

I had a limit on the number of concurrent connections, so it was my own
fault ;-)

Sorry but thanks
Paul
