I’m guessing this government URL might have something to do with your troubles.

All, here is a good troubleshooting guide for NGINX:

Did you configure Grafana to run on port 8080? The default is 3000, so if your Grafana is running on the default settings the proxy line should read:

proxy_pass http://localhost:3000/

You have nginx listening to port 3000 - normal SSL listens at 443 - so not sure if you got confused on the ports, or that’s something unique to your service/gov etc.

whatever port you have Grafana served on, do a curl request to validate it’s working. Then move on to fixing nginx.

hmmm, that’s strange. Maybe just add a new response to the thread with any news or updates :+1:
