Discourse get real IP Address behind Fastly

[renoirb]

It seems that the IP address doesn’t pass through to Discourse, yet.

This is unexpected work item, I thought the information was going through.

Possible causes

• Discourse expects X-Forwarded-For with only one entry. No need to change Fastly at all, not even to add a header
• Discourse reads from another header; correct.
• NGINX at frontend rewrites header; nothing special to do here
• NGINX inside Discourse container rewrites header; the container’s NGINX server handles it all

TIme estimate

• Initial: 4h

Dependencies

• Parent Discuss prepare migration and adjust settings #152

Solved. Problem was caused by the fact that Discourse already has what’s needed. See my comments in meta.discourse.org/t/enable-a-cdn-for-your-discourse
