Help set up a reverse proxy

Hello
I’m not sure I have understood the problem, but if I’m not mistaken, everything rise from the fact that the proxy connects to port 80 of the peertube server and in nginx config there is a rule that redirects all requests to port 443 where it is sent ssl certificates to the proxy in response … and of course the proxy goes crazy.

I’ve done it … PeerTube works well, but the problem with the tracker-) I already talked about this.

Here is the reverse proxy config (192.168.2.20)

Config Proxy

server {
  server_name www.video.ustim.ru video.ustim.ru;

  error_log /var/log/nginx/video.ustim.ru_error.log crit;

location / {
        proxy_pass http://192.168.2.28/;
            proxy_http_version                 1.1;
            proxy_cache_bypass                 $http_upgrade;
            proxy_set_header Upgrade           $http_upgrade;
            proxy_set_header Connection        "upgrade";
            proxy_set_header Host              $host;
            proxy_set_header X-Real-IP         $remote_addr;
            proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For   $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
            proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
            proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host  $host;
            proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Port  $server_port;
    }

  location ^~ /.well-known/acme-challenge/ {
   default_type "text/plain";
   root /var/www/letsencrypt;
  }
  location = /.well-known/acme-challenge/ {
   return 404;
  }

    listen 443 ssl; # managed by Certbot
    ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/video.ustim.ru/fullchain.pem; # managed by Certbot
    ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/video.ustim.ru/privkey.pem; # managed by Certbot
    include /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-nginx.conf; # managed by Certbot
    ssl_dhparam /etc/letsencrypt/ssl-dhparams.pem; # managed by Certbot

}
server {
    if ($host = www.video.ustim.ru) {
        return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
    } # managed by Certbot


    if ($host = video.ustim.ru) {
        return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
    } # managed by Certbot


  server_name www.video.ustim.ru video.ustim.ru;
    listen 80;
    return 404; # managed by Certbot

}

This is the PeerTube server config (192.168.2.28)

    try_files /dev/null @api;
  }

  location = /api/v1/videos/upload {
    limit_except POST HEAD { deny all; }

    # This is the maximum upload size, which roughly matches the maximum size of a video file.
    # Note that temporary space is needed equal to the total size of all concurrent uploads.
    # This data gets stored in /var/lib/nginx by default, so you may want to put this directory
    # on a dedicated filesystem.

With such settings, everything works, but when watching the video, the tracker does not work and does not distribute.
