I have bitwarden\_rs running in a docker container and behind a host-level nginx reverse proxy. It’s all working, except that the emails it generates (e.g., for verification) contain hrefs that refer to localhost, rather than the correct proxy location.

How do I configure the intended proxy location? And, assuming this is in the wiki somewhere and I’ve just missed it, where is it documented?

Hello @anderbubble,

It is all documented here: [Configuration overview · dani-garcia/bitwarden\_rs Wiki · GitHub](https://github.com/dani-garcia/bitwarden_rs/wiki/Configuration-overview)

Hope that it helps.

How embarrassing for me. ,\_, I even did see that page that lists all the envs before, but I didn’t find DOMAIN because I kept searching for URL. Thanks.
