      Did you add the hostname to the Nextcloud config?

        @viragomann Yes, that is under the DNS Resolver section. When going to the domain it talks about too many redirections.

          I'm talking about the Nextcloud config.
          <rootdir>/config/config.php

          section 'trusted_domains'

            @viragomann I forgot to do that. It's in there now. I don't get the too many redirects but now it just spins.

              Nextcloud’s overwriteprotocol setting in config.php. Add this if HAProxy handles SSL termination:

              'overwriteprotocol' => 'https',

              Ensure HAProxy isn't re-redirecting to itself. This can happen if the frontend or backend rules conflict.

              What's does this return:
              curl -v -H "Host: nc.zzzzz.net" https://nc.zzzzz.net

                This seems not to be necessary, however.

                I'm running Nextcloud behind HAproxy. HAproxy does TLS offloading with redirecting http to https, and the backend server requires https as well. But I don't have this in my NC config.

                    I'm not a pro here but it seems the 307 redirect issue is related to the backend server (Nextcloud) redirecting HAProxy to https://nc.mydomain.net:9001/. This is causing the incorrect redirection loop because:

                    1. HAProxy is already terminating SSL, and the backend is attempting to enforce HTTPS on port 9001.

                    2. This setup conflicts with HAProxy's expected behavior as the frontend URL https://nc.mydomain.net is supposed to mask the backend address.

                    If that's the case:
                    Nextcloud doesn’t recognize that HAProxy has already handled the SSL termination. So you need to force Nextcloud to treat requests as coming from https://nc.mydomain.net and prevent it from redirecting to https://nc.mydomain.net:9001/ (if that makes sense)

                      Good shot!
                      Yeah, NC directs the client to the next page using its known hostname and port. But it doesn't know the hostname and port, which HAproxy is listening on.

                      There is another overwrite option, which can be used in the config.php to avoid this.

                        'overwritehost' => 'nc.zzzzz.net:443',

                      You have to insert this into your config, replacing the hostname with your public one.

                      For reference: Nextcloud docs Reverse proxy

                        @viragomann Unfortunately it still just adds the :9001 at the and redirects. Do I need to change anything in HAproxy?
