Greetings.

As a new user, I have set up everything I wanted to with some excellent tutorials from mostly members here and I am 99% done. I am just being haunted by one thing:

I used @Rusty tutorials for Let's Encrypt + Docker = wildcard certs & Synology Reverse Proxy.

Sonarr, Radarr etc works fine using the reverse proxy. However, if I set up a reverse proxy to go to DSM is works fine for 1 or 2 times where I am able to get to the login screen. Thereafter if I try, it shows the DSM logo on the tab but the page is just white/blank?

I have seen other people posting on similar problems with Apache Proxy Server etc. but can't figure out how to fix it.

If you can shed some light, I will really appreciate it.

Probably not an RP issue.

log into your nas via ssh and go to /var/log/nginx/error and see if there are any errors that might point to a problem with this.

Also, if it works 1-2 times then it probably is not the RP that's the problem here. How is your DSM login configured via RP in the 1st place?

Already tried reverse proxying to the http port (default 5000) of your DSM?

I logged in with ssh and could get to /var/log/nginx but not further?

At Cloudflare DNS I made an Aname entry to my ddns address. My DSM login is configured with the inbuilt RP of Synology:

I also found this thread on the same issue: Accessing synology DSM behind nginx reverse proxy

Developer view of the page? What does the console report?

Same problem with other browsers?

@Rusty I have turned off Auto Minify in Cloudflare and it now seems to work. Thank you very much for all your patience with me. 😊

EDIT: Still not 100% but I suspect that it is some or other setting on Cloudflare. Please still have a look at the logs I sent and let me know your thoughts.

sorry for the late reply but if your domain is being proxied by CF and the logs are stating script blocking by then as well as 522 errors, then I guess your solution is in CF configurations. If it works atm, then you have found your solution.
