Description
Unless I missed it somewhere, there doesn't seem to be a way to set the trustProxy setting. Per the below source code:
if the trustProxy setting is not set, the X-Forwarded-For and X-Real-Ip headers will not be respected which is needed when a reverse proxy is used.
I set the trustProxy setting in the Sqlite3 database manually and the real IP's were used correctly so just a way to set the trustProxy setting with an environment variable and/or a setting in the web UI is needed.
INSERT INTO setting (key,value,type) VALUES('trustProxy', 'true', 'general');Reproduction steps
Use a reverse proxy and login into Dockage and the logs will report the private IP address of the Docker container instead of the real IP address of the user.
Expected behavior
A way to set the trustProxy setting with an environment variable and/or a setting in the web UI so that the X-Forwarded-For and X-Real-Ip headers will be respected when using a reverse proxy.
Actual Behavior
The private IP address 172.19.0.1 of the docker container is reported instead of the real IP:
