[Closed] Self host appwrite

[elfin timber]

Do you have set a domain to your appwrite instance?

[smoky dome]

_APP_DOMAIN right

I have set

[elfin timber]

Are you using a reverse proxy or similar?

[smoky dome]

I have public ip , then forward to the appwrite local.

the domain is pointed to public ip.

port 80 and 443 are pointed to IIS server.

I use 8888 for appwrite.

I have ssl pointed to subdomain, it's registerd in iis. I also try to do reverse proxy from iis to appwrite, but it does not work

[plush meteor]

Something is wrong with your domain. It's not pointing to your Appwrite. When I browse to it, I get a 404

[smoky dome]

if you add port 8888, it willl

[plush meteor]

It must be exposed on standard ports for the certificate to generate

See https://appwrite.io/docs/advanced/self-hosting/tls-certificates

[smoky dome]

can you give some idea, as port 80 and 443 occupided by iis. normally, I host in iis with some domain

[plush meteor]

Uhh if your problem is you have multiple apps running on a certain server, the solution is to use a reverse proxy

[smoky dome]

I setup reverse proxy from iis to local appwrite server. but it seems iis can't reverse to appwrit

[plush meteor]

That sounds odd

[smoky dome]

right. I follow the setup reverse proxy iis docs, it should be straigforward, but it doesnot work

[plush meteor]

What's the problem?

[smoky dome]

so I setup when the connection by the subdomain, it goes to my local server public ip (which already domain pointed in namecheap). it should go to iis server. then iis should reverse proxy it to appwrite.

but as you see, i already setup but when we access domain, it shows 404

which means it doesnot reverse to the appwrite yet.

by exposing port 8888.it directly goes to appwrite server directly.

the reason is iis occupied port 80 and 443. so it must go through iis

[plush meteor]

Yes... That's how reverse proxies work

[plush meteor]

So what did you do in iis to reverse proxy to Appwrite?

[smoky dome]

I setup frist binding subdomian to my local iis ip and port 80

then I setup url rewrite to appwrite instance server with port 8888

my rewrite url: http://192.168.1.8:8888/{R:0}

[plush meteor]

Is Appwrite on the same server? And that's the local IP of the server?

[smoky dome]

no they are different local server

iis is .2

[plush meteor]

That's weird that http://domain:8888 would work if domain is pointing to iis 🧐

[plush meteor]

What's the https port for Appwrite. You should reverse proxy both

[smoky dome]

i use anotehr 4444

[plush meteor]

Can you share a screenshot of iis for what you did?

And can you confirm you're using Application Request Routing?

[smoky dome]

will screenshot

[smoky dome]

🤔 wait i could not see

[plush meteor]

Are you sure you don't have anything else? And the domain points to iis? I don't understand how it's being routed currently if you browse to https://domain:8888

[smoky dome]

I dont have any other setup

[plush meteor]

I'm pretty sure you need http on port 80 as well as https on port 443

So do you see this when you open the http port 80 in the above screenshot?

[smoky dome]

will try

[smoky dome]

i create rule manually

[plush meteor]

how is this tied to the site bindings you have?

[smoky dome]

what do you mean right here?

[plush meteor]

sorry i don't know how inbound rules work in IIS. Do all of them run?

[smoky dome]

me neither. if it runs correctly it should work.

I have just folloing the docs.

[plush meteor]

lol...sounds like you need someone who knows IIS more

Is this inbound rule tied to a site?

[smoky dome]

😂

it should work as it works for other things

so the basic setup is same

[smoky dome]

generally, it should just forward the request from outside to local appwrite server

now when i access.

[plush meteor]

access what?

[smoky dome]

the domain

[plush meteor]

which? I see 500 for appwrite.mlopdata.com

[smoky dome]

🤔

[plush meteor]

anyways...i dunno how to configure IIS..but it should be possible. and that would be the right way to do it

[smoky dome]

right, it should be easy as I beleive and the doc says.

[smoky dome]

@plush meteor i have it working but

When i sign in or add new web app

[elfin timber]

In the overview tab, there's a section called platforms. You can add it there

[smoky dome]

when I try to add this message pop up

[elfin timber]

Are you adding it as web?

[smoky dome]

Actually i added as custom domain

I need another domain as web project

But when i try to add

To sign in

To add web pro

This always pop up

It likes any change in console will pop this up amd prevent me to perform

Anything related to reverse proxy?

[elfin timber]

Do you get any other error?

[elfin timber]

You mean as your appwrite instance domain?

If it's the app domain you should add it only in the platform section

[smoky dome]

i already add it as appwrite instance domain

so I need to add another domain in web project to allow cors

the problem is when I change anything it shows 403

[elfin timber]

So you can't change anything?

[smoky dome]

no i cant

[Error] Method: DELETE
[Error] URL: /v1/proxy/rules/:ruleId
[Error] Type: Appwrite\Extend\Exception
[Error] Message: Invalid Origin. Register your new client (appwrite.mlopdata.com) as a new Web platform on your project console dashboard```

in the appwrite log

[elfin timber]

Do you have added the domain including subdomain in the correspoinding environment variable?

[smoky dome]

where ?

_App_Domain?

_App_Domain=mlopdata.com

right?

if i access locally, work fine.

most likely origin blocked

[elfin timber]

Yes

[smoky dome]

How to fix it

[elfin timber]

If you're accessing the instance with the domain appwrite.mlopdata.com you should add that there

[smoky dome]

I added but same issue

_App_Domain=appwrite.mlopdata.com

[elfin timber]

Did you have run the command to update?

Also, you're getting the error in the console?

[smoky dome]

what command

[mental drift]

docker compose up -d

After updating .env file

[smoky dome]

yes i did

@elfin timber

should be both appwrite.mlopdata.com

still the same

[elfin timber]

First yes, second not

[smoky dome]

second what should be ?

[elfin timber]

localhost

[smoky dome]

yet, still not working

[elfin timber]

What's the error you're getting and where?

[smoky dome]

this from docker appwrite log

from chrome console

[elfin timber]

But where?

And how?

[smoky dome]

what do you mean where and how ?

i believe it should be to allow somewhere in selft hosting appwrite.

_App_Domain I already did

dont know what is giong wrong

[smoky dome]

@elfin timber do you think of any

[plush meteor]

Why did you install again??

[smoky dome]

what do you mean installing again?

[plush meteor]

How did you get to this?

[smoky dome]

I try to upgrade it to 1.4.11

and put the domain name if it is sovled

but not

[plush meteor]

What's the domain environment variables when you run docker compose exec appwrite vars?

Can you share exactly please?

Ty

I'm deleted the screenshot because it has the openssl key in it

[smoky dome]

Okay thank you

Is env correct ? Right

[plush meteor]

Ok so you need to make sure IIS forwards the host header

[smoky dome]

oh. any ideas how

[plush meteor]

Maybe https://stackoverflow.com/questions/64722495/how-to-force-iis-to-use-a-specific-value-for-the-http-host-header-during-a-rewri 🤷‍♂️
