Hello everyone,

I’ve been trying to install Bahmni Lite via docker as documented on the “Getting Started Quickly with Bahmni on Docker” section, alongside an already installed nginx serving as a reverse proxy for other apps, on an ubuntu VPS.

Therefore, I were using the docker-compose.yml found in github `Bahmni/bahmni-docker` . It seems that bahmni has its own proxy listening on port 80 and 443, and after exploring the architecture documentation, I saw it is based on apache.

Since my host nginx service is already using those ports, I changed bahmni proxy’s ports to 7080 and 7443 in order to avoid ports conflicts. The changes I have done from the default configs are given in the embedded screenshot below (because they have localhost links and I couldn’t add more than 2 links as a new member).

Then, I added a server block in my nginx config.

`/etc/nginx/sites-available/test` content : [/etc/nginx/sites-available/test - Pastebin.com](https://pastebin.com/LapzriJw)

Restarted nginx. Then I ran `run-bahmni.sh`

The containers are run successfully. `docker ps` output: [docker ps - Pastebin.com](https://pastebin.com/uf47m6qS)

However, when I try to access `test.mydomain.com` on the browser I get `302 Found` as a Response Header Status. It says “The page isn’t redirecting properly” on Firefox, or “Too many redirections…” on chrome . I expected that nginx will receive the requests and forward them to bahmni’s proxy.

Does someone know where in the configuration did I do wrong? Or any solutions to make bahmni work together with nginx ?

Thank you in advance.
