I have an nginx reverse proxy to my grafana instance running on port 3000. The URL is standrad https running on port 443. However will append :3000 to the URL and break the URL if you change the current organization.

the url becomes like `https://dash.example.com:3000/dashboards`

My ini contains this:

```auto
# The http port to use
;http_port = 3000

# The public facing domain name used to access grafana from a browser
domain = dash.example.com

```

nginx:

```auto
server {
    proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
    server_name dash.example.com;
    location / {
        proxy_pass http://10.0.0.1:3000;
    }

```

> 
> If nginx is performing TLS termination, then you must set the `root_url` and `protocol` configuration accordingly. If you’re serving Grafana from `https://example.com/grafana/` then the `root_url` is `https://example.com/grafana/` or `https://%(domain)s/grafana/` with the corresponding `domain` configuration value set to `example.com` in the `server` section of the Grafana configuration file. Set `protocol` to `http`.

I do not understand the **Note** here. Are `root_url` and `protocol` configuration something in nginx? I find no documentation of them.
