Can't get v6 webinterface behind nginx reverse proxy to work

General Beta 6.0

Thanks! I just wanted to object because a location / with proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8001/; should reverse proxy all paths including /admin...

But weirdly, this config works, setting up two separate reverse proxies for /admin and /api
So this is the full config I now use:

server {
        listen 192.168.0.1:80;
        listen [::]:80 ;

        server_name pi-hole.home;

        location / {
                return 301 $scheme://$host/admin/;
        }
        location /admin/ {
                proxy_set_header Host $host;
                proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
                proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8001/admin/;
        }
        location /api/ {
                proxy_set_header Host $host;
                proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
                proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8001/api/;
        }
}

server {
        # redirect non-standard TLD to proper domain
        listen 192.168.0.1:80;
        listen [::]:80 ;

        server_name pi.hole;

        location / {
                return 301 $scheme://pi-hole.home/admin/;
        }
}

So run pihole-FTL --config webserver.port "127.0.0.1:8001" to not expose this port to the network interface(s) and you are done.

With v5 I didn't see a reason to have Pi-hole set up under /admin, that's why I moved it to the root. But I don't insist on that, so I'm fine with the new setup.

So thanks for making me try out that way.
