Hi! I set up the Nginx Proxy Manager with Docker and use it as reverse proxy. It already works with other docker images (i.e. Firefly III docker image). Now I try to get Vaultwarden to work with the Nginx Proxy Manager. The non-SSL connection already works and I can access Vaultwarden with [http://vaultwarden.mywebsite.com](http://vaultwarden.mywebsite.com) ---

I also set up a Letsencrypt certificate for [vaultwarden.mywebsite.com](http://vaultwarden.mywebsite.com). However as soon as I try to access Vaultwarden with [https://vaultwarden.mywebsite.com](https://vaultwarden.mywebsite.com) I get a 504 error (504 Gateway Timeout: remote server did not respond to the proxy). ---

I have following docker setup: ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/vaultwarden/original/1X/ee9bac0c21104f5dc88a82a5ede5ba6a75c528bd.png) The port 8060 is mapped to 80 and the port 3012 to 3012. I can access both ports with SERVER\_IP:8060 or SERVER\_IP:3012. The server ip is 192.168.178.75 (thus [http://192.168.178.75:8060](http://192.168.178.75:8060) and [http://192.168.178.75:3012](http://192.168.178.75:3012)). ---

Now I’ve read multiple tutorials how to set up the Nginx Proxy Manager but all tutorials do not work for me (i.e. [Bitwarden (Vaultwarden) Passwort Manager installieren - ubiquiti - Deutsches Fan Forum](https://ubiquiti-networks-forum.de/wiki/entry/65-bitwarden-vaultwarden-passwort-manager-installieren) or NGINX: [Proxy examples · dani-garcia/vaultwarden Wiki · GitHub](https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden/wiki/Proxy-examples) ). ---

The tutorial [Bitwarden (Vaultwarden) Passwort Manager installieren - ubiquiti - Deutsches Fan Forum](https://ubiquiti-networks-forum.de/wiki/entry/65-bitwarden-vaultwarden-passwort-manager-installieren) and [https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitwarden/comments/k4wn1y/502\_bad\_gateway\_nginx\_proxy\_manager/gnseu4g/?utm\_source=reddit&utm\_medium=web2x&context=3](https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitwarden/comments/k4wn1y/502_bad_gateway_nginx_proxy_manager/gnseu4g/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) suggest, that I need to add the configuration to the “Custom Nginx Configuration” settings field (see last screenshot), however because of the hint below the field I think the configuration is wrong. I’ve already tried to follow the instructions and it didn’t work. Can someone provide useful hints? Thank you! ---

This my config: ```auto location /admin { return 404; } location / { proxy_pass http://192.168.3.35:8060; proxy_set_header Host $host; proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme; } location /notifications/hub { proxy_pass http://192.168.3.35:3012; proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade; proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade"; } location /notifications/hub/negotiate { proxy_set_header Host $host; proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme; proxy_pass http://192.168.3.35:8060; } ``` ---

Thank you! Where did you add these rules? To the custom NGINX config field (screenshot: [Vaultwarden and Nginx Proxy Manager - #10 by hannesfrater](https://vaultwarden.discourse.group/t/vaultwarden-and-nginx-proxy-manager/1307/10) )? ---

Yes, correct. I add this stuff in the custim NGINX config field. Just add you ip and ports and it should work. ---

I have the same configuration, I just start the vaultwarden docker, my ports are 8888:80 and 3012:3012. No I am trying to do the configuration that you just posted but it didn’t work for me. (I’m kinda of sure I just did it wrong but still) ---

You just need to put your ports and ip in and it should work. post your code and we can check if anything is wrong. ---

Ok, lol I have it, I was following the tutorial on [pimylifeup.com](http://pimylifeup.com) and when they publish port, they put 127.0.0.1:8888:80 and 127.0.0.1:3012 so I just had to remove the IP address and now it is working. Just a question now, I can access my bitwarden anywhere, I have my own domain name that is proxied by cloudflare, do I have any extra steps that I need to do to improve security ? ---

I did it, I’m glad there’s not extra steps to do [Next page](https://vaultwarden.discourse.group/t/vaultwarden-and-nginx-proxy-manager/1307.md?page=2)
