Appwrite behind Nginx, locale.get() returns internal IP
I have Appwrite behind Nginx and followed this guide to forward the real user IP: https://medium.com/@stnguyen90/how-to-run-appwrite-behind-nginx-19348ed34243
This works for e.g. user sessions, it saves the real user IP for each session created but the Locale API (Get user locale, https://appwrite.io/docs/references/1.8.x/client-web/locale#get) still returns the internal docker IP:
{"ip":"172.18.0.1","countryCode":"--","country":"Unknown","continentCode":"--","continent":"Unknown","eu":false,"currency":""}
and no data for country etc.
Is this a bug or am I missing something?
TL;DR
Appwrite's Locale API is returning internal Docker IP instead of user's IP behind Nginx. The issue might be due to Appwrite not recognizing the forwarded IP correctly. Check if the X-Real-IP header is properly set in Nginx to pass the real user IP. Also ensure that the correct headers are forwarded to Appwrite.
