Nginx Configuration

Libredesk uses WebSockets for real-time updates. If you’re using Nginx as a reverse proxy, add this configuration: 
server {
    listen 80;
    server_name your-domain.com;
    
    client_max_body_size 100M;
    
    location / {
        proxy_pass http://localhost:9000;
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade';
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
    }
}
Ensure WebSocket support is enabled in your reverse proxy configuration for real-time features to work properly.
