Nginx

Make sure to replace example.com with your domain name and localhost with the ip of your Medusa server.

server {
       listen         80;
       server_name    example.com;
       return         301 https://$server_name$request_uri;
}
server {
    listen 443;
    server_name example.com;

    ssl on;
    ssl_certificate /usr/local/nginx/conf/server.crt;
    ssl_certificate_key /usr/local/nginx/conf/server.key;
    ssl_session_cache shared:SSL:10m;

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://localhost:8081;
        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 $host:443;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Server $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Port 443;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;

        # Websocket
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
        proxy_read_timeout 86400;
    }
}

Apache

In medusa config.ini make sure handle_reverse_proxy = 1. You are not forced to configure https in medusa, but if you want to, change: enable_https = 1. If you do, then also make sure you change http://localhost:8081/medusa with https://localhost:8081/medusa and ws://127.0.0.1:8081/medusa/ws with wss://127.0.0.1:8081/medusa/ws.

If you receive an error 400 (seen using at least Server version: Apache/2.4.33), uncomment RewriteEngine, RewriteCond, RewriteRule below, and comment out the ProxyPass and ProxyPassReverse statements for the ws(s): urls

    #RewriteEngine On

    # When Upgrade:websocket header is present, redirect to ws
    # Using NC flag (case-insensitive) as some browsers will pass Websocket
    #RewriteCond %{HTTP:Upgrade} =websocket [NC]
    #RewriteRule ^/ws/(.*)    ws://127.0.0.1:5051/ws/$1 [P,L]

    # webserver

Microsoft IIS Application Request Routing

This explanation assumes that ARR in IIS fully configured and working.

Make sure that WebSocket Protocol is added as a feature to IIS.

Create the following Server Variables in IIS:

  1. HTTP_X_FORWARDED_HOST
  2. HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO
  3. HTTP_X_FORWARDED_SCHEMA

Edit the web.config of the the Medusa site to contain the following lines and change localhost with the ip of your Medusa server

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
    <system.webServer>
        <rewrite>
            <rules>
                <rule name="Medusa Reverse Proxy" enabled="true" patternSyntax="Wildcard" stopProcessing="true">
                    <match url="*" />
                    <action type="Rewrite" url="http://LOCALHOST:8081/{R:1}" />
                    <serverVariables>
                        <set name="HTTP_X_FORWARDED_HOST" value="{HTTP_HOST}" />
                        <set name="HTTP_X_FORWARDED_SCHEMA" value="https" />
                        <set name="HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO" value="https" />
                    </serverVariables>
                </rule>
            </rules>
        </rewrite>
    </system.webServer>
</configuration>
