mailcow-dockerized-docs/docs/firststeps-rp.md

You don't need to change the Nginx site that comes with mailcow: dockerized. mailcow: dockerized trusts the default gateway IP 172.22.1.1 as proxy. This is very important to control access to Rspamd's web UI.

1. Make sure you change HTTP_BIND and HTTPS_BIND in mailcow.conf to a local address and set the ports accordingly, for example:

HTTP_BIND=127.0.0.1
HTTP_PORT=8080
HTTPS_BIND=127.0.0.1
HTTPS_PORT=8443

** IMPORTANT: Do not use port 8081 **

Recreate affected containers by running docker-compose up -d.

2. Configure your local webserver as reverse proxy:

Apache 2.4

<VirtualHost *:443>
    ServerName mail.example.org
    ServerAlias autodiscover.example.org
    ServerAlias autoconfig.example.org

    [...]
    # You should proxy to a plain HTTP session to offload SSL processing
    ProxyPass / http://127.0.0.1:8080/
    ProxyPassReverse / http://127.0.0.1:8080/

    ProxyPreserveHost On
    ProxyAddHeaders On

    # This header does not need to be set when using http
    RequestHeader set X-Forwarded-Proto "https"

    your-ssl-configuration-here
    [...]

    # If you plan to proxy to a HTTPS host:
    #SSLProxyEngine On
    
    # If you plan to proxy to an untrusted HTTPS host:
    #SSLProxyVerify none
    #SSLProxyCheckPeerCN off
    #SSLProxyCheckPeerName off
    #SSLProxyCheckPeerExpire off
</VirtualHost>

Nginx

server {
    listen 443;
    server_name mail.example.org autodiscover.example.org autoconfig.example.org;

    [...]
    your-ssl-configuration-here

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080/;
        proxy_set_header Host $http_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;
        client_max_body_size 100m;
    }
    [...]
}
