[bug]: Unable to upload files / attachements after upgrade v0.24.1

[sivakrishnamattadev]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Current behavior

I recently upgraded my self-hosted Plane Community Edition to the latest version v24.1 and migrated the database to an external PostgreSQL instance. However, after the upgrade and migration, I am unable to upload attachments.

Issue Details:

• I noticed errors in the console logs and network tab, specifically related to file uploads.
• The upload requests seem to be going to HTTP instead of HTTPS.
• I am using the default MinIO setup from Plane, with only the database migrated to an external PostgreSQL instance.

Troubleshooting Steps Taken:

• I checked existing issues related to NGINX and upload configurations, but changes to NGINX are not reflecting.
• Even after restarting Docker, the configurations seem to revert to the old values.
• I suspect this issue might be due to Plane resetting configurations after the upgrade.

Request for Assistance:

• Could you please confirm if this is a known issue after upgrading to v24.1?
• Any guidance on fixing the upload URL redirecting to HTTP instead of HTTPS would be greatly appreciated.
• Is there any additional configuration required for MinIO, NGINX, or Plane storage settings after migrating the database?

Looking forward to your support.

Hi @sivakrishnamattadev, could you please update your nginx configuration to include the headers mentioned in the external reverse proxy configuration

[sivakrishnamattadev]

Following is the ngINX.conf inside the container.

events {
}

http {
    sendfile on;

    server {
        listen 80;
        root /www/data/;
        access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log;

        add_header X-Real-IP                 "$remote_addr";

        location / {
            proxy_http_version 1.1;
            proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
            proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
            proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
            proxy_pass http://web:3000/;
        }

        location /api/ {

        }

        location /auth/ {

        }

        location /god-mode/ {
            proxy_http_version 1.1;
            proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
            proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
            proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
            proxy_pass http://admin:3000/god-mode/;
        }

        location /live/ {
            proxy_http_version 1.1;
            proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
            proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
            proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
            proxy_pass http://live:3000/live/;
        }

        location /spaces/ {
            proxy_http_version 1.1;
            proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
            proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
            proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
            proxy_pass http://space:3000/spaces/;
        }

        location /uploads {
            proxy_http_version 1.1;
            proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
            proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
            proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
            proxy_pass http://plane-minio:9000/uploads;
        }
    }
}

the following part i did tried to update...

        location /uploads {
            proxy_http_version 1.1;
            proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
            proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
            proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
            proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto https;
            proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Ssl on;
            proxy_pass http://plane-minio:9000/uploads;
        }

I did update the uploads as above, and restart the docker, the changes are defaulted to followed.

        location /uploads {
            proxy_http_version 1.1;
            proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
            proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
            proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
            proxy_pass http://plane-minio:9000/uploads;
        }

Could you please guide me more detailed how do I update? is there any external ngINX.conf impacting?

[sivakrishnamattadev]

and it was working flawless with v0.21.1., why this issue coming with the new update?

[akshat5302]

Hey @sivakrishnamattadev

Have you set up any external reverse proxy? If yes, then based on the type of proxy server, you might need to make the required changes. If it is nginx then add

proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;

You do not need to change anything in the nginx.conf present inside the container.
