Reverse proxy behind looker instance for injecting custom styles

Looker Q&A Looker

I need to have a reverse proxy for applying custom styles on embed looker dashboards. For that I prepared config

events {
  worker_connections  1024;  ## Default: 1024
}
http {
    server {
        listen 80;

        error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log debug;

        location / {
            # resolver 8.8.8.8;
            proxy_pass https://looker.domain.com:19999; # Replace looker.domain.com with the name
                                                    # that clients will use to access Looker

            ### Force timeouts if one of backend hosts is dead ###
            proxy_next_upstream error timeout invalid_header http_500 http_502 http_503 http_504;

            ### Set headers ###
            proxy_set_header          X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
            proxy_set_header          Accept-Encoding "";
            # proxy_set_header          Host $http_host;
            proxy_set_header Referer "https://looker.domain.com:19999";
            proxy_set_header          X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;

            ### Don't timeout waiting for long queries - timeout is 1 hr ###
            proxy_read_timeout        3600;
            proxy_set_header          X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;

            ### By default we don't want to redirect ###
            # proxy_redirect            off;

            proxy_buffer_size         128k;
            proxy_buffers             4 256k;
            proxy_busy_buffers_size   256k;
            proxy_intercept_errors on;
            error_page 301 302 307 = @handle_redirect;
        }

        location @handle_redirect {
            resolver 8.8.8.8;
            set $saved_redirect_location '$upstream_http_location';
            proxy_set_header Referer "https://looker.domain.com:19999";
            proxy_set_header  Host looker.domain.com:19999;
            proxy_pass $saved_redirect_location;
        }
    }
}

the main problem is that using this code Iframe loads app_state from API, but doesn’t request another API calls (models and etc) and I have a blank page.
Could you please share correct config or at least lemme know what’s wrong with my config

Hey Denis, I’m encountering the same problem. Were you by any chance able to figure out a solution? Thanks
