And here's the fix anyway: forget about reverse proxying, use SCGI, and tell her to fuck all the way off.
In nginx.conf
server {
server_name fossil.textboard.org;
access_log /var/log/nginx/fossil.textboard.org.access.log main;
error_log /var/log/nginx/fossil.textboard.error.log warn;
location / {
include scgi_params;
scgi_pass 127.0.0.1:8080;
scgi_param HTTPS "on";
scgi_param SCRIPT_NAME "";
}
listen 443 ssl; # managed by Certbot
ssl_certificate /usr/local/etc/letsencrypt/live/fossil.textboard.org/fullchain.pem; # managed by Certbot
ssl_certificate_key /usr/local/etc/letsencrypt/live/fossil.textboard.org/privkey.pem; # managed by Certbot
include /usr/local/etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-nginx.conf; # managed by Certbot
ssl_dhparam /usr/local/etc/letsencrypt/ssl-dhparams.pem; # managed by Certbot
}
server {
if ($host = fossil.textboard.org) {
return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
} # managed by Certbot
listen 80;
server_name fossil.textboard.org;
return 404; # managed by Certbot
}Then launch the fossil web server like this:
fossil server --https --scgi --repolist --port 8080 /path/to/your/directory/of/fossil/repositories &Are you cloning a git repo?
git clone wholesomegitproject
cd wholesomegitproject
git fast-export --all | fossil import --git ../dull-and-boring.fossil
