HTTPS Proxy mode

If you deploy ActivityInfo behind a load balancer or reverse proxy that provides SSL termination, you must update ActivityInfo's configuration so that the ActivityInfo server knows that it should accept insecure requests via http, while still presenting secure, HTTPS URLs in notification emails and other user-facing materials.

Https Proxy mode is supported in ActivityInfo Standalone Server, version 4.0.15 and later.

Updating config.ini

You can enable "HTTPS Proxy" mode by editing ActivityInfo's config.ini file. For example:

[Server]
Https Port=8080
Https Proxy=True

Using environment variables

You can also provide configuration values using environment variables.

This is particularly convenient for passing configuration to ActivityInfo running in a Docker container. The following Docker Compose file includes an "environment" section used to enable HTTPS Proxy mode:

version: "3"
networks:
  web:
    external: true

services:
  activityinfo:
    image: activityinfo/activityinfo:4.1.2
    volumes:
      - activityinfo:/data
    environment:
      - ACTIVITYINFO_SERVER_HTTPS_PROXY=TRUE
      - ACTIVITYINFO_SERVER_DOMAIN=activityinfo.example.gov
    networks:
      - web
volumes:
  activityinfo:
