• BBBS behind a nginx proxy

    From Sean Rima@2:263/1 to All on Sun May 14 11:15:26 2023
    I am trying to get bbbs to work behind a nginx proxy. I can log in ok but when I got to the messages and start viewing the enter/next/reply popdown doesnt come down.

    it is this section:

    <nav class="navbar navbar-expand-md navbar-light bg-light">
    <button class="navbar-toggler" type="button" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#navbarSecond" aria-controls="n>
    <span class="navbar-toggler-icon"></span>
    </button>
    <div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="navbarSecond">
    <ul class="navbar-nav mr-auto">
    <li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link" href="bbbs?id=$i;do=e$c.0">Enter</a></li>
    <li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link" href="bbbs?id=$i;do=ra$c">Show All</a></li>
    <li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link" href="bbbs?id=$i;do=n$c">Next Area</a></li>
    </ul>
    </div>
    </nav>

    What should I change to make it come down or sty down permanently

    I run the webserver at trmb.ca and it seems to work well here.

    I am not running a proxy and I don't know what changes that might need.

    Sorted the issue by using a subdomain

    I changed it to a subdomain and it is behind the proxy. It works so happy. I have 2 Raspberry Pi that I didn't want to open up to the net so thought a proxy may be best

    Another option is to use your Routers port forwarding feature when firewall is in operation i.e.,
    pass port 24554 to 192.168.1.3
    port 8080 to same
    port 22 to 192.168.1.65

    Etc.

    The above for the services you are allowing through but any other will be barred.

    This does assume you are using a router that allows there features as there are
    many that are given by ISP that are very basic in features - although for a fair few they are hard, to get access to such settings.

    Could be the reason why I have always bought a good router in place of an ISP one and only have that as a back up. That said the biggest problem with the freebies are poor wifi services (I.e., Virgin Media routers but are ok as a modem and even more so if you have a land line service.

    I did have it port forwarded and have no doubt bbbs is secure but trying to cut down on the amount of open ports as that can lead to issues.

    The subdomain works fine. Now to work out how to use socks for ftp etc. Just learning new skills
