How to forward client IP via HAProxy

[steveharman]

Hi,

This isn't strictly a Plausible question, but as it's a vital step in making Plausible useful in its self-hosted form, I wondered if anyone had an example of the config for HAProxy > nginx which forwards the client IP to my web server when they hit HAProxy (so Plausible & geo-ip can work with it.

I've tried variations around the following, but my server only ever sees the HAProxy private-IP:

# HTTPS Frontend
frontend https-in

        bind *:443 ssl crt /etc/letsencrypt/live/pem/

        option forwardfor header X-Real-IP
        http-request set-header X-Real-IP %[src]

Thanks

I know this is old, but i just had this issue with missing geodata in plausible using HAProxy. All i needed was option forwardfor inside frontend https-in, nothing else :)
