Edit: Solution is in Nginx I disabled these: Cache Assets, Block Common Exploits, Websockets Support.
I can login using the local IP 192.168.1.2:9101, but when I route that with Nginx, It won’t.
I have the GUI listen address as : 0.0.0.0:9101
I’ve been googling for hours but I can’t find anything, In browser console it says
Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 403 ()
syncthing.my.domain.com/:1 Refused to execute script from 'https://syncthing.my.domain.com/meta.js' because its MIME type ('text/plain') is not executable, and strict MIME type checking is enabled.
I tried to add what’s in the docs.syncthing using the GUI but it failed, I wasn’t sure if I should modify something inside the ngnix docker container or not.
403 Forbidden doesn’t necessarily mean a bad login attempt. Are you sure that’s the error?
My troubleshooting steps would be to access directly (no nginx), and look at the logs for a successful login. Then, look try to login with nginx, and look at those logs (both access.log and error.log on nginx, and any/all logs from syncthing). Find out where the two cases diverge and go from there.
Does syncthing have a domain name specified? If it doesn’t know its domain name it may work from IP directly but not via reverse proxy. Just a hunch.
In Syncthing logs the difference between success and fail
Success

I can’t find an option to do so

I’m using the Web GUI Nginx Proxy Manager https://nginxproxymanager.com/
I tried to add what’s in the docs.syncthing using the GUI but it failed, I wasn’t sure if I should modify something inside the ngnix docker container or not.
I’d definitely take a look at the syncthing logs…
The log doesn’t mention anything regarding a login attempt

This suggests nginx options to use re: hostname. Unsure of your nginx config…

I managed to get it to work finally, I disabled these Cache Assets, Block Common Exploits, Websockets Support.
