Nginx proxy_pass keeps redirecting to localhost

Server Fault Asked on January 3, 2022

I am trying to set up a reverse proxy from my domain to http://127.0.0.1:4000. My issue is that whenever I try to open https://example.com (not the actual domain) in a browser, I just get redirected to http://localhost on my own machine. There is nothing listening on the server at http://127.0.0.1:4000 yet. I am just trying to see the 504 error screen.

server {
        listen 443 ssl;

        server_name example.com;

        ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/fullchain.pem;
        ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/privkey.pem;

        location / {
                proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:4000;
        }
}

The domain does point to this server. I am able to connect to the server via this domain, but when I view it in a browser I always get redirected to http://localhost.

EDIT: I just tried it in another browser and realized it was Chrome doing the redirect. The server works fine.

504 Gateway Timeout error means that nginx was able to succesfully connect and send request to the 127.0.0.1:4000 server, but did not receive a response within expected time.

To see that error message, you need to have a server running on the port, and make it not send a reply within timeout specified in nginx configuration.

Nevermind, I tried it in another browser and it worked fine. Chrome is just stuck redirecting me for some reason...
