Photoprism + nginx = backend not available (alien.top)

Hi gang,

So I got photosprim installed with docker on my system, works great.

I have added nginx and my domain name to access my photoprism from the internet and it works. BUT photoprism complains that it's "offline" and apparently I need to do something in my nginx setup.

Photoprism does conveniently refer to this page of the documentation : https://docs.photoprism.app/getting-started/proxies/nginx/

But I don't understand what I am supposed to do with this, how or where...

Can someone help me out please ?

Thanks in advance !

I don't use photoprism, but have experienced similar in other docker containers. What is most likely happening is that something, like headers/ports, needs to be forwarded by NPM, usually b adding additional config to the "advanced" tab in NPM.
Sorry, I'm not familiar enough with photoprism to know what exactly needs to be added to the config, but I since nobody has replied, I thought it might at least give you a direction to search in.

Thanks a bunch, that was also my assumption but I am a bit lost at the documentation given by photoprism in that regard (see OP). Some variables I can guess what they are, but for example they ask for the path of the certificates and they are in the docker container... not sure where that is.

I am a complete noobie with those things, so I learn slowly :P
