Wanted to switch to Zoraxy but...

[majorsl]

I've been using NPM for quite a while. I like the modern interface and features of Zoraxy. I attempted to set up a test instance and I'm wondering if someone could tell me what I did wrong.

I used ACME and got a wildcard cert for my domain via DNS01 challenge with Cloudflare. I created a reverse proxy and let it choose what it considered to be the correct cert. I immediately got a cert error and looking at via a browser it seemed to be Zoraxy's self-signed one. So, I went back in the proxy for the host and manually set my wildcard. Same thing.

It's probably my fault since I didn't start with the wizard and when I went back to try it kept telling me port 80 was in use when I tried to set it in the wizard.

I having really gotten back to it, but probably the first thing I'll do is recreate the container from scratch.

Hi @majorsl

Since you didn't post your settings here there isn't much I can help, but if I need to make an educated guess, there might be a few common reasons

• You requested a certificate with CN field not matching your hostname set in http proxy rule
• You think you are visiting your site through the proxy setup in proxy rule host but end up landing in default site without knowing (common issue when testing with internal static web server)
• You have something in front of Zoraxy caching the reverse proxy response (Cloudflare maybe?)

when I went back to try it kept telling me port 80 was in use

Port 80 was in use is another common issue with wrong permission settings (you using Linux?) or just something is using your port 80 on your host. Docker build and native build have different start parameters requirement so please make sure you have them setup correctly.

Thanks for your insights, I'm using an lxc container from the Community Scripts for Proxmox. I have since deleted it, but will start over and make sure to use the defaults so the install is successful.

• I do use Cloudflare, but for testing I disable it's proxy (grey cloud).
• I do have split DNS, but for proxied hosts, I don't do an override for local hosts so it is sure to hit public then back through the proxy - NPM usually handles this fine.

I do plan to give it another try in a couple of weeks. Unless there are more insights based on the above, it's probably safe to mark this closed. If I have issues again I'll make a new Issue with some logging and settings.
