Document config.json when using reverse proxy #819
Description
I assume this is the intended setup?
- If I run Apache on port 80 + 443
- and I run sold-server at port 5001
- and my hostname is
example.com
then theconfig.jsonfile has those entries:
{
"port": "5001",
"serverUri": "https://example.com",
}
Is that right?

Yes, that looks about right. I have a slightly different setup where I have HAProxy on a different machine than where I have solid-server, but it is essentially the same thing.
So, the reason I didn't write this in the documentation on the solid site was that there is a gazillion ways to do this, depending on what you choose for frontend, and whether it is on a different box. We do need more complete documentation, but it is complex enough as it is, so I was wary of introducing this is as well.

I saw those notes on the wiki, but the core of my question -- about the config file -- isn't addressed there. Specifically whether the port also needs to be on
serverUri.kjetilk commentedon Oct 2, 2018
@jernst
serverUriis what the world should see, so if you're proxying it, then it shouldn't have the port.Saifjafri212213 commentedon Oct 10, 2026
Hi, I'd like to work on documenting the
config.jsonsetup for reverse proxies. Could you please assign it to me?bourgeoa commentedon Oct 10, 2026
