Good day,
My problem is that I am ONLY getting my Docker network IP address when using Laravel's $request->ip() or $request->getClientIp () or $request->server->get('REMOTE_ADDR') or $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] which essentially all do the same I assume.
So far the problem occurs on my local test pc (without Nginx Reverse Proxy) as well as on my live servers
I hope I've supplied enough relevant info below, if not please let me know :) Thanks in advance!
So my setup is the following (simplified), both Nginx configs are pasted below as well:
Server -> Nginx Reverse Proxy -> Docker Containers & Network (db, php, nginx, redis) -> Nginx Webserver <-> PHP-FPM
Some results related to _SERVER:
[SERVER_ADDR] => 172.20.0.3 (nginx webserver)
[REMOTE_PORT] => 55378
[REMOTE_ADDR] => 172.20.0.1 (docker network / gateway)
[SERVER_SOFTWARE] => nginx/1.19.6
I have read multiple forums and solutions for hours and hours while trying and changing configs etc. but none of it seems to be working.
What I have tried:
- Get User IP address in laravel with similar method to HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR
- https://serverfault.com/questions/618456/getting-the-client-ip-when-passing-through-a-reverse-proxy
So I have also tried to set my "Trusted Proxy" in Laravel's /Http/Middleware/TrustProxies.php by allowing all: protected $proxies = '*';
I also don't need these additional Laravel packages as of >5.5 I believe this is a built in feature of Laravel (TrustProxies).
Please find below my Nginx webserver config:
server {
listen 80;
server_name domain.com;
return 301 https://www.example.com;
}
server {
listen 80 default_server;
index index.html index.htm index.php;
server_name www.example.com;
root /var/www/public;
location ~ \.php$ {
try_files $uri =404;
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
fastcgi_pass php-fpm:9013;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /var/www/example.com/public/$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info;
}
# Support Clean (aka Search Engine Friendly) URLs & enable Gzip compression:
location / {
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
gzip_static on;
}
# Override the load balancer IP with real IP.
fastcgi_param REMOTE_ADDR $http_x_real_ip;
error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log;
access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log;
}
And my server's Nginx Reverse Proxy config (IF relevant):
server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;
server_name example.com.au www.example.com.au;
location / {
proxy_pass http://localhost:8013;
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-Host $server_name;
}
}
