I was struggeling a bit to use yunohost on a different machine behind the nginx proxy manager of my server.
This is how I got it to work:
Use the HTTPS forward:
Request an SSL Ceriticate:
Set the advanced options:
```auto
location / {
proxy_pass https://10.8.0.2:443;
proxy_ssl_verify off;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_ssl_protocols TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2 TLSv1.3;
}
```
So, if you want to run yunohost behind an nginx reverse proxy, this could be of help.
I also used this to disable the HTTPS that was enforced:
```auto
sudo yunohost settings set security.nginx.nginx_redirect_to_https -v no
```
But it seemed to have no effect.

It may seem strange, but on the current version 12.0.11 this:
'sudo yunohost settings set security. nginx.nginx\_redirect\_to\_https-v no`
does not work, because:
“Error: The filter key ‘(‘security’, ‘nginx’, ‘redirect\_to\_https’)’ is incorrect.”

No problems for me, you have a space between security. and nginx, is it a copy/paste of your command? If yes, there’s a mistake.

Yes, this is just in copypaste space. In real is no space between security. and nginx.

I think, it would be good to create a new post with images, screen shots, configuration options and the path that you took. Questions to answer in this: Is there anything visible from yunohost? What is your wordpress domain?
