Unable to setup Rocket Chat with NGINX reverse proxy

Community Support

I’m trying to get RC to work with NGINX as a reverse proxy (subfolder). I want RC to be accessed from mydomain.com/rocketchat, but I am unable to make progress. I either get a white page back or currently RC is stuck at the loading screen.

NGINX Configuration:
#–START ROCKETCHAT CONFIG–
location /rocketchat {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:3001/rocketchat;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection “upgrade”;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forward-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forward-Proto http;
proxy_set_header X-Nginx-Proxy true;
proxy_redirect off;
}
#–END ROCKETCHAT CONFIG–

I have properly set the ROOT URL properly https + domain + /rocketchat (sorry, cant post more than two links :P)
All help is appreciated

change your proxy_pass statement to
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:3001;
