Wordpress ReverseProxy HTTPS

How to make  Wordpress use HTTPS scheme when behind a ReverseProxy

I host Dockerized Wordpress. That means there is a front ReverseProxy that terminates the SSL tunnel and Proxies the requests to the Dockerized Wordpress through clear HTTP.

When a Wordpress is queried through clear HTTP, it builds all its assets URLs with HTTP scheme.

I want the  Dockerized Wordpress to builds all its assets URLs with HTTPS scheme.

Set the header "X-Forwarded-Proto" to the "https" value

In order to achieve that, I have to fool it (to lie) and pretend it has been queried through  HTTPS instead of clear HTTP.

For that, on the Dockerized Apache, I have to artificially set the header "X-Forwarded-Proto" to the "https" value.

In the ".htaccess" I have to :

  # Artificially set "X-Forwarded-Proto" to "https"
  RequestHeader set X-Forwarded-Proto "https"
  RequestHeader set X-Forwarded-Port "443"
  
  # following is standard Wordpress htaccess rules
  RewriteEngine On
  RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
  RewriteBase /
  RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

npm run build base-href

Using NPM to specify base-href When building an Angular application, people usually use "ng" and pass arguments to that invocation. Typically, when wanting to hard code "base-href" in "index.html", one will issue: ng build --base-href='https://ngx.rktmb.org/foo' I used to build my angular apps through Bamboo or Jenkins and they have a "npm" plugin. I got the habit to build the application with "npm run build" before deploying it. But the development team once asked me to set the "--base-href='https://ngx.rktmb.org/foo'" parameter. npm run build --base-href='https://ngx.rktmb.org/foo did not set the base href in indext.html After looking for a while, I found https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/issues/13560 where it says: You need to use −− to pass arguments to npm scripts. This did the job! The command to issue is then: npm run build -- --base-href='https://ngx.rktmb.org/foo&
