Reverse Proxy

After having been deployed I wanted to set up reverse proxying for TLS certificates. Unfortunately, once this was in place there were issues around the site with it still using "http" instead of "https" in certain areas. This was resolved by opening the config.php file and adding the following to it:

'overwriteprotocol' => 'https',

For me, this file was located at:

/var/lib/docker/volumes/nextcloud_nextcloud/_data/config/config.php

Files not encrypted on server by default

Desktop App

Is an "AppImage"
