Ngnix as a proxy for lxd host

irtazahussain · 2025-04-12T01:01:28.044Z

we want to use nginx to communicate to lxdhost. I need your help to solve my issue which I am facing.

I read this somewhere on internet that http reverse proxies will not allow us to pass client certs

I know lxd uses tls based certs for authentication then how can we pass the cert in our reverse proxy so that we can authentic with the host.

Hello,

you can use a proxy in tcp mode, so ssl is passed through from your client to lxd directly. I am not sure if nginx allows for that, but HaProxy for sure can be configured in mode tcp.

Kind regards,
David
