Continuing from yesterday’s post I’ve been working through figuring out my deployment of Archipelago. I decided to go down what I thought was the simple route of reverse proxying to the Docker container with NGINX, and initially Drupal cooperated without issue. The snag came with the IIIF image server, i.e. Cantaloupe. At first I tried copying the config of our Islandora server at work:
upstream cantaloupe {
server 127.0.0.1:8182;
}
server {
#standard server stuff left out here
location /iiif/2/ {
proxy_read_timeout 90;
proxy_connect_timeout 90;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Port $server_port;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
if ($request_uri ~* "/(.*)") {
proxy_pass http://cantaloupe/$1;
}
}
#below here is the base location, i.e. reverse proxy to Drupal
}
I had some trouble with that if section, but I think ultimately this would have worked just fine. The problem was that the upstream server had assets at its root that conflicted with Drupal. So no problem, reverse proxy the whole image server from its own subdomain, right? womp womp. Hello CORS issues. Fine then, I’ll just copypasta some NGINX CORS lines to wildcard subdomain. Foiled again. Double CORS header errors in the browser. Turns out Drupal sets its own default CORS options in its config. Final answer:
- Copy
default.services.ymltoservices.ymlin Drupal’sweb/sites/defaultfolder. - Change the default
cors.configto the following (for example).
cors.config:
enabled: true
# Specify allowed headers, like 'x-allowed-header'.
allowedHeaders: ['x-csrf-token','authorization','content-type','accept','origin','x-requested-with', 'access-control-allow-origin','x-allowed-header']
# Specify allowed request methods, specify ['*'] to allow all possible ones.
allowedMethods: ['GET']
# Configure requests allowed from specific origins.
allowedOrigins: ['*.albertmin.com']
#I left defaults for the rest of the configuration below here.
Done and done. Onto the next set of troubles.
