configuration for nginx proxy manager makes host offline #11453

Description

Describe the bug
After I pasted the nginx (proxy manager) configuration into nginx proxy manager the status has gone offline

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to Providers
  2. Click on your provider
  3. Scroll down to setup
  4. copy configuration and paste it into nginx proxy manager
  5. change proxy_pass http://authentik.company:9000/outpost.goauthentik.io; to match your authentik installation e.g. https://sso.mydomain.tld/outpust.goauthentik.io
  6. After saving configuration the status of the proxy host has gone offline

Expected behavior
That the proxy host stays online and I can protect it with authentik's sso

Version and Deployment (please complete the following information):

  • authentik version: 2024.8.1
  • Deployment: docker compose

Additional context
this is the (unedited) config that makes the proxy host offline

# Upgrade WebSocket if requested, otherwise use keepalive
map $http_upgrade $connection_upgrade_keepalive {
    default upgrade;
    ''      '';
}

# Increase buffer size for large headers
# This is needed only if you get 'upstream sent too big header while reading response
# header from upstream' error when trying to access an application protected by goauthentik
proxy_buffers 8 16k;
proxy_buffer_size 32k;

# Make sure not to redirect traffic to a port 4443
port_in_redirect off;

location / {
    # Put your proxy_pass to your application here
    proxy_pass          $forward_scheme://$server:$port;
    # Set any other headers your application might need
    # proxy_set_header Host $host;
    # proxy_set_header ...
    # Support for websocket
    proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
    proxy_set_header Connection $connection_upgrade_keepalive;
